-A 12-person SOAS decision panel was appointed by a [[Oversight_Board/Meeting_Minutes-2009-09-25#Decision_Panel|September, 2009]] Oversight Board decision.
+A 12-person Sugar-on-a-Stick (SoaS) decision panel was appointed by a [[Oversight_Board/Meeting_Minutes-2009-09-25#Decision_Panel|September, 2009]] Oversight Board decision.

 The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel's answers are below:
 Question 1: "Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?"
-Answer: Yes.
+Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs' members plans.
 Question 2: "Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?"
 Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.
 Question 3: "Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?"
 Answer: Yes.
 In addition, [[#Mandate|the mandate]] allows the Decision Panel to raise and answer any other question the DP deems required to provide an answer to the original question: "Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?" (Question 0).
