Re: [tei-council] what's in a name?

Tei army knife in the shower just makes me think of Psycho... But ok Magda, tei go will be on the list, which should appear after lunch.

From: Magdalena Turska To: tei-council@lists.tei-c.org CC: I support TEI Go (TEI o2 also very clever, good one Peter). I was thinking about TEI ArmyKnife in the shower but it's only good for subtitling, not as a brand. Now TEI Go officially has 2 supporters, can we have it on the list, Lou? Elisa, I actually disagree we want to cut all connections with Lite and Tite, Simple essentially being a new take on Lite. What we wanted to avoid was utter confusion between the three 'facilitated by phonic/semantic similarity' as Kevin pointed out. I claim Go is sufficiently distinct in both aspects, has a nice ring to it, brings positive image of things moving forward... On 23 October 2016 at 10:16, Lou Burnard wrote:

Sfaics the only names so far proposed which have two or more supporters are Simple, Print, and Bookish. You have a couple more hours before nominations close and I send out the ballot papers though. Especially as it's Sunday and I am running a bit late.

Fine with that except for point #1. I think no vote is *not* a vote for the status quo.

At the end of this, do we have a vote or what? I wonder how to get this discussion leading somewhere...

This is why I hate naming discussions and why they always go on forever.

Here's what I suggest.

1. All members of Council have a vote, just one. If you do not vote the Returning Officer will assume you are voting for the status quo, i.e. "Simple".

2. You have until Sunday morning (in Europe) to propose new names and argue their case. At noon on Sunday, I will recirculate the list of candidates. To be a candidate, a name must have more than one supporter.

3. On Tuesday evening, the Returning Officer will count the votes and declare a winner. AND THAT WILL BE AN END OF IT!

I am happy to volunteer for the job of Returning Officer. I was going to say Hugh should do it, but since he has strong views on one of the candidates (and I dont: just on the need to knock this thing on the head)...
