I've setup a JIRA project [1] and worked through[2] an outline process[3] for "rat". I plan to head over to the trademarks team and get feedback + interpretation sometime soon.
So now would be a good opportunity to jump in with improvements (documentation and process) and objections. Please feel free to comment from an incubator perspective on "rat" [2] but please read the documentation and warnings about avoiding legal speculation. For example, offering the opinion that '"Rat" is an unsuitable top level name for Apache since rat is strongly associated with trojans used to take control of a victims computer' would be fine but avoid using loaded legal terms (like "infringement" and "trademark ownership") or speculating about legal matters in public.
