I started a thread about the Rust trademark policy on the debian-legal
mailing list.
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2021/06/msg00003.html>

I participated in the Free Software Foundation's most recent Free
Software Directory meeting.  Several participants in the meeting where
interested in the Rust trademark policy.  I started a thread on the
directory-discuss mailing list as was suggested in the meeting.

The Free Software Foundation's licensing team will be taking a serious
look at the Rust trademark policy issue (no time frame was given).
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/directory-discuss/2021-06/msg00001.html>

After reading further on the topic and receiving feedback I have written
an update to my understanding of the Rust trademark policy.
