Hi, "*On one hand we don’t have a policy that say you must have to have done a name search before becoming a piddling, on the other changing a name does incur a large community cost and Infra would prefer that podlings don’t change names. Most podlings do the name search just before graduation. In a lot of cases it fairly obvious there is not going to be an issue, with a generic name like this it may be best to wait until the name is approved before calling the results of the vote.*" Thanks for Justin's clarification, i also want to add a few words:
I'm sorry, my words caused unnecessary confusion. I am still following up on this issue[1]. I must admit that this name is a very serious problem. By reading Apache’s regulations [2], I found that "*the original Podding proposal established a working name for the new Podding. During the election process, there are often discussions and filtering of suitable names, but the proposed name is not final, just temporary*" I am tring my best to ensure that it is resolved before the formal incubation.
