An approvals process is entirely reasonable.

Something for us to take to the lawyers.

There are some certification marks that I would like to develop, based on
the GNOME logo. They're sufficiently important that they can't be confused
with other sublogo designs. I'll chat to you about this off-list, so we can
get something designed and published in the brand guidelines, and so no one
makes conflicting sublogo designs.
