17		-I would like to collaborate with the OSI community to formulate a set of criteria through which the OSI could usefully build upon its role as the primary touchstone "brand of trust" for designating **//genuine "open source" production and distribution//**, in a world where "open" branding has become ubiquitous (good) and ambiguous (not good). Of course, it's been wonderful to see the concept proliferate, but what's there to do about "[[openwashing>>url:http://opensource.com/business/14/12/openwashing-more-prevalent]]"? I suggest there's no better-placed entity than the OSI to establish a certification program for "open source" claims beyond the software realm. The OSI could strategically and pro-actively build upon the [[derivative logo arrangement>>url:http://www.oshwa.org/2012/10/17/co-existence/]] that was worked out (after-the-fact and a little haphazardly) with OSHWA to proactively come up with a series of OSI logos derived from the primary logo, for OSI-certified "openness" in domains other than software. This remains to explore and discuss, and I understand that it's a non-trivial proposal. With your vote, I commit to working with others to formulate the concept with various options, and to help facilitate thoughtful consideration. Of course, if after thoughtful consideration the OSI members and the Board decide to not pursue such a direction, I'll be fine with that. I just think the idea should be thoroughly considered.
