can be remembered easily by users or potential users. People are used
to acronyms, and POI is has a viable meaning. The word "poi" is something
strange. You will have to explain it to people, and only when and if
they understand what poi is they might find some connection to what
our project deals with. I'd like to see some marketing considerations
exchanged before we ever do such a vote again.

I object to such a short time frame. One should have a week or so to
send in one's vote. For example, I just returned from a 2-days-trip
without mail access. You should also take into account that others
might have to do other work with a higher priority. Unless, of course, the
Board's rules say something different.
