I have not suggested it did or should. But DebConf's use of the
Debian trademark certainly could.

I have not suggested that they should become responsible for the
conference.

Monitoring is only one way to ensure appropriate use. It's generally

I don't think an update is required. That's (part of) the charm in
the approach, as far as I interpret it.

That is because DC14 was almost entirely organised without active
delegates.
