Re: [atlarge-discuss] Our New Name Isn't...

You missed the point completely. When forming a seperate organization you
don't include another organization in it's name because you tie your fate to
theirs. This is not part of ICANN, therefore the name is deceiving, and
limits us in our scope if ICANN should cease to exist.

What we do is our purpose. What we are called is our name. Please attempt to
seperate those two things in your mind.

Name recognition takes years to build. If ICANN was not around in one year
we would be considering a name change at that time, then we would have lost
one year in building our own name recognition.

I simply propose that this organization have it's own name. That doesn't
seem like something that should be fought so hard against by a couple of
people.
