§ 2202.23 - Types of involvement.

Initially, the Commission contemplates there will be three forms of involvement with commercial activities:

(a) Recognition of sponsorship. In return for donations offered or solicited from commercial sources, the Commission may, on its own initiative, or upon request, recognize the contributions of specific donors by entering the name of such donors on a Register of Official Sponsors to be maintained at the Commission's offices. The Commission may also authorize a donor listed in the Register to identify itself to the general public as an “Official Sponsor of the Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Jubilee.” Any conditions under which a donor may be permitted to identify itself to the general public as such an official sponsor shall be prescribed in writing by the Commission.

(b) Recognized commercially sponsored projects. As set forth in Part 2201 of the Commission's regulations, the Commission may designate projects originated by commercial sources as Official Quincentenary Projects. In connection with such inclusion or designation, the Commission may authorize a commercial sponsor or sponsors to identify themselves with the project or the Commission and/or to make use of the Logo. The conditions under which commercial sponsors of “Registered” or “Official” projects or events may be permitted to identify themselves with the project or the Commission and/or make use of the Logo shall be prescribed in writing by the Commission.

(c) Licensing. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, these regulations and any amendments thereto as may subsequently be required, the Commission may enter into agreements by which it will license commercial use of its Logo.
