[Ofa_boardplus] logo program discussion

[Coulter, Susan K]

Yep - we are all in agreement that we need to discuss further, and the XWG sounds like the right place.
I did not want to stop the email conversation too soon - and perhaps that was good as it pulled in a few more voices.

( I’m looking at you Steve Poole and Parks :)

… to be continued next Thursday ...
