Arnulf,

The "live" copy of the trademark guidelines live at:

   http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/legal/trademark_guidelines.html
   http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/legal/trademark_faq.html

A few of the changes you made (filling in links) have already been addressed.
I don't personally have any general problems with the changes you are
proposing.  I think they are considered "owned" by VisCom so I think you
could seek their approval for an update.  Generally speaking I figure
notification of changes is sufficient for editorial changes that don't
change the meaning in any noticable way, and a motion would be more appropriate
if the changes are substantial.

Best regards,
