The question would also be: - is this a significant problem - Do we wánt to solve this problem (what is our targeted audience) - Are there other ways to achieve the same (When I had to pitch Wikimania as a conference with potential partners in the Amsterdam 2010 bid, we always used a subtitle - which worked fine. People actually appreciated a more unique brand/name) - finally, are there any benefits to keeping Wikimania as a name
I see how one can make a case - but without addressing all these questions, such case is imho not complete.
