Hi Nicolas,

I don't think our voices really matter in this case. Check the RfC, people
are still voting against 'Wikipedia' as a brand name, but the survey has
only one option which is three variants of Wikipedia. It doesn't even have
the option of status quo. This is very frustrating to say, but this is the
truth that we cannot change anything through this survey or participating
in the process, as the outcome is already decided. The process is just an
eye-wash to show that the community was consulted.

Personally I feel, this whole process is completely biased, pre-decided and
non-transparent. There is no point wasting time here.

Regards,
Bodhisattwa
