<div><br></div><div>Here it is in more detail: I would suggest you work with the Strategic and Communication working groups to shortlist the entries, trying to pull some criteria or considerations that attract consensus from these email threads to inform that decision and documenting those criteria/considerations on the wiki for transparency. Then put the logo and web site design shortlists to the vote for the Foundation members, and if the Board and working groups are happy then the Operational Working Group can work with you on implementing the decisions. The vote should probably include a "status quo" option for those who feel we shouldn't change either/both the logo and the web site design.</div>
