Executive summary:

The following drafts are now official guidelines, having been accepted
by FESCO last week:

 * The license tag refinements requested by the board:
  * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/LicenseTag

 * Dynamic user and group creation policy:
  * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsersAndGroups

These should be written into the guidelines soon if this hasn't
already been done by the time you read this.

There are no issues pending FESCO ratification this week.

Misc business:

 * Clarifying what the License: tag refers to (source or resulting
   binary):
  * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/LicenseClarification
  * There was plenty of interesting discussion here; it's a delicate
    issue but the current tendency is to let License: refer to the
    license on the source packages.
