I still maintain that identity and 'creating a mark' are not issues that 
should involve the OGB.  The OGB should be about governance, not a 
generic leadership board.  These sorts of things are best left to people 
who are either interested or best-equipped to drive it: and in our 
community, that is the Advocacy Community.

If people still maintain that it should be an OGB decision, then as an 
OGB member, I move that we delegate this to the Advocacy Community.  I'm 
no expert at figuring out what the best way is to form logos/marks, how 
long it takes to do them, create them, or select them.

cheers,
steve
