"Better" yes - "required" before we can vote - no. My reasoning is that WSO2 have already agreed they will use a different name if VP Branding requires it. In fact they won't have any choice since the proposal clearly indicates the Stratos trademark will be assigned to the ASF. That said I encourage someone on the project commit list to mail trademarks@ to understand what would be acceptable.
