Re: [atlarge-discuss] 006 Deciding Name for Organisation

Richard is right here but we must use other marketing tools as well.
The word World with othe handles that redirect and point at his main site.
For instance the entire marketing community knows Earth and Global are quite
positive at this time.
Mundo is awesome.  Alpha for some reason is hot - dumb! but maybe not?

Richard you fine man of reason, how about putting out a schedule and a straw
vote.
You decide on the names (meaning our great panel) but this is not critical to
our security our legitimacy of a vote.  Marketing and OUtreach should be fun,
let us have a wild vote and see how many contribute with a name and a vote.  I
bet we can be the Panel vote just by having a blast.
Baby that is Outreach.

Ps. I will go back to my hole now
