About 4(1)(b)(iii):

===============

After the OSP New Definition Date, the scope of the Core OpenStack Project which is an integrated release shall be determined as set forth in Section 4.13(c)(ii). The use of the OpenStack trademarks on the OpentStackOpenStack Project shall be defined in the Trademark Policy in Section 7.3.

===============

The addition of "which is an integrated release" seems redundant to me, since "Core OpenStack Project" is defined in 4(1)(b)(iii) as "the software modules which are part of an integrated release". It might not be redundant if "which is an" is different from "which are part of", but if that is the case, then I think that distinction should be elaborated/made explicit - as it currently stands it is somewhat confusing.

Hey

I figure these proposed amendments are relevant to this list too.

Thanks,
