Mike, 
your last statement, which completely ignores what has been said is not acceptable. You are simply being uncooperative and obstinate. It reflects very badly on you, this process, and the EF.  Do you serve the community or do you rule the community? You can’t be an autocrat and a public servant at the same time. So tell us, Mike, which are you?

          I read that differently. My interpretation is: They just
          eliminated candidates that failed to meet the design criteria,
          which did include a basic legal component. The next step is a
          more thorough legal analysis as well as a brand review from
          the foundation’s marketing team. From that process they will
          pick the strongest contenders. Both of these functions are
          pretty standard (Also really important for major industry
          marks) and based on expertise & analysis, and while we all
          have some biases, I seriously doubt this is driven by simple
          personal preferences.
       
    
     
    This is correct. We removed the ones that did not meet the design
    criteria as stated in writing. This included removing the ones that
    we knew had legal issues. Now we are going to do more reviews,
    including deeper legal ones. 
    
    The community will have an opportunity to select from a number of
    options. 
    
    
      
        
        
        Is the concern more that there will be too few options and
          you guys might not like the  options, or is it that there is
          some nefarious purpose? If it’s the latter what would they
          have to gain?
        
          
          
            
              Right. Some were removed for legal reasons
                but the rest was a subjective decision by the marketing
                team.
