Steve, I do not think changing the name to "Dynamic Mesh VPN" is a good idea. The first thing that is going to happen is that it is going to be shortened to "DMVPN" and then we have conflict with Cisco DMVPN, which would be confusing and also "DMVPN" is a registered trademark. It would be best to use some other synonym for "Dynamic Mesh".
