Frederick, I think you are right, and we need to find a sane way of doing things
as you put it.  In this case, it would have worked well to put a message on this
mailing list saying that the strategic working group exists, they are charged
with looking after the OSM logo among other things, and they plan to discuss it
at a certain time on a certain day.  So anyone who has views could express them
at the meeting or perhaps before.  Finally, if it is the working group that is
ultimately going to decide, that needs to be made clear at the start, so that
those who disagree with this way of working can talk about it then, rather than
after the decision has been made and people are already committed to their
positions.  (In other words separate the issue itself from the meta-issue of who
gets to rule on it.)

It might make a bit of noise on this list if everything that needs to be
discussed gets mentioned here first, but it would be paid back a hundredfold in
cutting down the acrimony afterwards.
