[policy-charter] A rose by any other name ... or how to pick a working group name

[Pieter Kasselman]

The topic of naming will come up as part of creating a charter for any working group. We won't have to decide for a while, but wanted to propose some criteria as we work through the process of chartering and eventually settling on a name that we can use to make a decision in the future:


  1.  Descriptive: It should be descriptive enough to allow people to quickly understand the working groups purpose
  2.  Brief and Simple: The name should be concise and easy to remember, pronounce and spell.
  3.  Unique: The name should be unique and not easily confused with other working groups or standards
  4.  Flexible/Scalable: The name should be broad enough to allow the working group to take on additional work as we understand the problem space better.
  5.  Positive Emotional Response: The name should create a positive emotional reaction and reflect the values/resonate with the target audience.

Cheers

Pieter
