Title: Message

Managment actually refers to these locations by their geographical name and not the generic name.  They think that generic names are more flexible.

Hate to say it but what if you are replaced by management and they seem to think that EAME is region2 and it is actually region3....then they make a change. 

 

I just like to name things after their function....some people like to use their dogs, some people like to generically name things and use numbers.  Hate to say it but I think it is all about preference and easy reference.

All,

 

I have been asked by managment to defend my domain naming standard.  I am using geographical locations such as AMER (N&S America), EAME (Europe, Africa, & Middle East), and APAC (Asia Pacific & Australia).  I am being asked why can't we use generic names such as Region1, Region2, and so forth.  I can say all I want, but I need some outside evidence to back me up or if I am totally off base, I'll take some recommendations.

 

Thanks for the anticipated help.
