Of test spins and trademarks

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

I'd like some clarification from the board if possible. 
I'll use an example of the Xfce spin here, but this would apply to any
of the approved spins. 

- The Xfce Spin was approved by the board to use the Fedora trademark a
  while ago. So it can use fedora-logos and is an 'official' spin. 

- If I make a rawhide Xfce spin right now with current rawhide packages
  that seems to fall under: 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Distributing_Fedora_software_2

Which says: 

"use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Fedora Board."

My questions: 

1. Is the approval I got a while back for the Xfce spin "good for
life" ? Or does it have some expiration date on it? 

2. Do I need board approval for any Xfce compose thats not made by
rel-eng in an "official" capacity on fedora infrastructure? Or does the
approval in 1 work for this? We want to make weekly test releases of a
rawhide Xfce spin, do we need to request approval for each? 

3. When changes are made to the spin kickstart, do I need to ask the
Board to vet and review them and reapprove the 'new' spin? 

If the answer to those is that approval is needed, does using
'generic-logos' bypass that? And how much would that invalidate our
testing as we are not testing the thing that will be composed and
shipped.

Thoughts?
