This web page describes the process.

also posted not so long ago. :)

I'm hoping that the members of the board will let us know if they 
believe there is any problems with the OVPL and OVLPL that we might be 
able to remedy before they next meet.  I'm yet to see many comments from 
the OSI board regarding the OVPL 
(http://opensource.org/docs/board.php).  Step 6. of the process suggests 
that "if we see a problem, we will work with you to resolve any problems 
uncovered in public comment."  I can only assume that they see no 
problems with the OVPL and will likely approve the license when they 
next meet.

David.
