Round and round is good. We have time. Discussion is fine.

Like I said, I'm happy to take all these names to the team, and I'll do
so on an ongoing basis.


Yes but if we are all spending time discussing names and then they are just taken to a team who pick one then it is hardly a legitimate and participatory method of choosing the name. Why not start to narrow the field, or somehow allow us to take stock of what we are talking about, otherwise this is starting to resemble a talking shop that gives the *impression* of participation but lacks any real power.

It certainly makes me wonder what the point of contributing if there is no end in sight and newbies start us right at the beginning again.. There surely needs to be some structure to how we are forming some kind of consensus or decision..

Indeed, there are multiple levels to this discussion, my understanding (possibly misplaced) was that we were able to not just *influence* with its implications of a small group of technocratic 'experts' distilling the ideas into 'sensible' solutions. But more radically we could direct, write and hey maybe even name the license so that it reflected the needs and wishes of musicians rather than lawyers... and who is best to make the decisions if about a license that is for musicians to use... not the lawyers thats for sure!

And that's not to say I disagree with discussion, its just unstructured, never ending, non-chaired, round and round discussion that I have a problem with...
