Anita stated that the Communications Committee has been working hard, with the help of Christi, Heather and others, and a "culminating moment" has been reached, whereby the branding strategy end-to-end can be put into place. Those working on the strategy have seen the respective components of it. Christi thanked the Yearbook Committee, who she stated have been working hard on the reveal of the mascot through the yearbook. Aba asked, "Are there plans to do a trademark?" Anita responded, "Yes. This came up in early discussions about overall branding and we do intend to go through the whole process." Heather said the graphic artist responsible for the mascot worked diligently to incorporate every aspect of The GLOBE into the image. Anita stated that additional branding decisions need to be made and they are being put before the Board for approval because of the impact on The GLOBE community.
