When you formulate the initial VOTE post, can you clarify that if anyone
votes -1, that they should provide an alternate name that does NOT have a
conflict in the USTO patent/trademark search?
I would do that in two steps :
- first, select a name which does not conflict with anything. We have a
few of them already proposed (ki being one of them). We will very
quickly find a small subset of acceptable names, whatever they are.
- then, launch a VOTE for those names, and do the math.
Those who are members of the IPMC, ie who have a binding vote, should
not be able to veto names in the second category. For instance, whatever
name you pick in the restricted list selected in step 1 fits me, so I
would consider my VOTE as a simple preference (or I can also not vote or
vote +0 or -0), just to let you guys pick the name you like, as I'm just
a mentor.
Does it sound good ?
PS : we are not in a hurry, but as soon as we start the process, it
should be closed in 72 hours, otherwise we can discuss forever :) So
here, in one week, we _must_ be done !
PS : I really appreciate the way the project has evolved those last
three months. Seems like it gains maturity.
