Thanks for the comments. We should however have some group ultimately 
responsible for the release of new designed materials.

IMO the marketing teams create and disseminate materials that often 
contain pre-approved design elements (ex logos, graphics, fonts etc.) 
from the design team. In these cases, and in particular marketing 
materials and documents, these should be put to the scrutiny of the 
design team when design elements are included. I think we have been 
using this process quite effectively with the marketing materials that 
we have published thus far.

As far as the text in the material, in this particular case ... 
marketing material, the marketing team would give approval for the text 
included in document/materials. Marketing text is not the area of 
expertise of the design team.

It goes without saying that in both these cases the TDF membership is 
involved through their participation in these groups giving validity to 
the approval process of both groups.

So, in this particular case, dealing with the 3rd party icons, it would 
seem to me, the design team should be given mandate of assuring the 
proper usage of these icons as they are the most logical group who are 
most knowledgeable in icon use and license adherence.

The approval process does not necessarily mean the rubber stamping of 
material from one particular goups, but may involve a tiered approval 
process. We tend to follow this process naturally anyway.

BTW, as Bernhard suggested, the warning on the 3rd party wiki page is 
temporary until the licensing issues are cleared up for their use on 
marketing material.

Just my take on this.

Marc
