Presumably, the PMC's job is to be the eyes and ears of the Board, so if project is doing something wrong, the PMC should let it know. In this case, the project specifically is asking for guidance from the PMC as to whether the name change is acceptable to the PMC and thus to the ASF, assuming

There may be trademark issues with Manifold, so although it enjoys support in the community, it may be unacceptable for that reason. Also, it was not the actual winner of the vote, and so we do need to go through the proper process, seems to me. If ACF is rejected, then we'll have to properly
