When you formulate the initial VOTE post, can you clarify that if

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 !
It's my understanding that I have started step 1 last week. Here are
the names we have so far:

I will start the the vote for these names tonight.
