If you really think we need a different name for the company than the

I guess this will be the most complicated part. Anyone ever tried to do

I strongly suggest that we allow both web-based *and* mail-based votes in
the future. I presonally prefer e-mail to visiting a web site because I can
do it offline, which makes it much more convenient, less hectic and
inexpensiver.
