CGL4.0 registration

[cherry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (John Cherry)]

Hi,

You are correct.  The CGL 4.0 registration is a self-disclosure of how
you product meets the requirements in the CGL Requirements Definition.
There are no specific CGL 4.0 tests.  Disclosure of CGL 4.0 requirements
can be done in several ways, but you can chose how to disclose these
capabilities.  Disclosure can be as simple as proving that a given
package is installed or as complicated as pointers to code and/or test
results.  Keep in mind that all disclosures will be reviewed by your
peers (other registering distros and members of the carrier grade Linux
working group).

I'm not sure why you have not received a response from
membership@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.  I will follow up on this for you.
