Are you suggesting there are trademark concerns with the name the project has chosen? If so, then yes, that's a valid reason for the IPMC to challenge a project's vote - as a part of 'grooming' them to think through these things... in other words, the basis for us challenging the vote is "trademark concern" rather than "I don't like that name, it's too broad"... ... but I haven't seen a mark concern brought up... --tim > On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 8:30 AM, Tim Williams <william...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I'm watching the "renaming" vote thread and I find it odd that folks >> are -1-ing the project's vote.
