Given Alan's assessment below, there appears to be an impasse

changing the project name.
What impasse?
The impasse (possibly a poor word choice) is formed by an
intersection of
the following:
- Matt's assessment is ncsu established the name vcl as a label for a
production service at ncsu and changing the name of the production
service
does not break this association.
- One necessary condition leading to graduation requires that voting
members
determine that project naming is independent of any institution/
company and
'belongs' to the community.
- We want to name the asf project 'vcl' and change the name of the
ncsu
production service.
I'm a little confused about the voting process, but it seems that we
don't
get to vote for our own graduation. Given that, it appears we need
to do
what Matt/Alan say since they vote and we want the project to
graduate.
I am constantly being reminded by my wife and her mother that the
world does not revolve around me and this is no exception. :)
I can easily be outvoted by the other Incubator PMC members but it is
my personal belief that I will not. We would never allow corporate
entities to retain such a connection regardless of how many
disclaimers are sprinkled on their web site and I don't see how an
educational institution would be any different.

Alan
