I brought this up during the TSC call, but my original proposal was to limit F-release to Australia/Oceania and G-release to Africa and it was vetoed (Dave, if you recall you were one of the people who was against this).
Anyhow, a suggestion was made in the TSC to do a re-vote on F-release name rather than go with the 2nd most popular choice from the original poll. Brandon and I went through the rest of the candidates in the wiki <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Future+release+name+candidates> and did a quick check on availability of photos (e.g. on Google, Shutterstock, Istock, etc.) . In addition to Fenix, Flyers, Feliciano, and Fundacion were also problematic as noted on the wiki page. I can create another poll with the remaining 9 rivers and run it for another week. Creating & publishing a criteria makes sense and that's something we can do before we do another release naming poll next year. I'm sure this will involve input from both technical and marketing community members...
