We're talking about an alliance of sorts with a group that has no Buffistas in its governing board.
If, for example, F4W were to toe tap someone under a bathroom stall and all hell broke loose, we'd have a (loose) affiliation with that.
OTOH, it's a freakin' logo.
OTOOH, we're making a change to our masthead.
My personal opinion is go bullshit consense, choose bullshit consense, but we have these rules in place.
I totally support the idea. How about bullshit consensus, subject to a confirming vote. (I.E., yes we agree that the action you took on our behalf really represents our opinions.)
As much as I'm usually for following protocol, I'm not averse to bullshit consensus in this case.
fyi, lexigeek is one of the main people who saved the Browncoat con after those other lying liars people took the fans money and ran. so i trust him.
i'm completely for this idea.

True, but it's not really an alliance - more of an endorsement. And although we're mighty, we can't be everywhere.
I really like the post the icon first, vote later idea.
Well, we can definately consense on asking for the icon. Does anyone want to make the request, and perhaps ask for a time frame (like, if it takes a few days, we might as well vote.)

This is the only part I'm concerned about doing without a vote. I'm not opposed, but I think we need to respect our process.

Isn't that kinda the *entire* part?
Yeah, that's the entire part.
After that, individual Buffistas can contribute however they like, or even do something as a group to file with the f4w site.

Just guessing here, but I don't think there is much turnaround to adding the name to the icon... unless we wanted to try to talk them into using our font for the Buffistas part which would probably require the help of one of our stompies. Just a thought.
