OTOH we’re back to not sounding like we’re about Media.

I like where this is headed though

I like "Review" better than "Playback" as it sounds more open for subprojects.

Our project names that start with "Open" help to emphasize the open source aspect. To me, "Review and Approval" sounds more like a business process tracking system because it doesn't indicate what is being reviewed or approved. Is it fair to say that the project(s) are about reviewing "media"? So maybe OpenMediaReview or something like that could work?

I would +1 the common naming here - I think for better discoverability somehow tying it back to the industry would be helpful and make it stand out more on web searches. It also would be helpful if at some point there would be value in pursuing a trademark and/or defending the mark if there are competitive projects that emerge.

I like the suggested name. My only concern is that it's going to be a bit hard to google for.

You might get a few hits on other RNA related sites...

But since I have not better alternative I vote in favor (if I have a vote that is.)

Hi All,

We've got to settle on a name for the umbrella TSC entity to satisfy our legal requirements, and have something to call ourselves in press releases for Siggraph etc...

So far the only candidate is "RnA Project" 

This is a last call for alternatives or votes in favor of or vehemently against the above.

I'd like to make the decision by EOD tomorrow so we can enable the PR teams to move ahead with their work.

Please chime in now if you have suggestions, or votes in favor/against the "RnA Project" naming.

Thanks,

-Erik
