Minute: We will select our new name at the next meeting.
Each member will be permitted to "sponsor" one proposed
name by the next meeting. The list is "closed" at the
beginning of the next meeting. At that meeting, each
(unique) sponsored name will be put up for a multivote.
That is, if N people are at the meeting, each person gets
N votes. They can put them all on one proposed name, or
divide them as they see fit. The multivote determines
a ranking. We go through, in top-to-bottom order, the
names and see if we can reach unity on that name. If not,
we go to the next name. If we do not reach unity on any
of the names, we will ban namechange discussion for 6 months.
[ NOTE! The page collecting the new name suggestions is

by one person that always disagrees. We talked about the failsafes
in the system. tal recommended this url for further reading:
