[cab-discuss] Official Name of the Organization

[Ben Rockwood]

The constitution must include formal name for the organization 
established by the constitution.  This is supplied in Article I. 

Early drafts used the name "OpenSolaris Organization", but in mail I'd 
noted a dislike for the name.  I noted my inability to think of a better 
one and Stephen noted that in the past he'd used "OpenSolaris 
Initiative".  I immediately like the sound of that, at least better than 
Organization, and Stephen agreed to make the change which is seen in the 
current draft.

Following that discussion I began to think I'd made an error.  The word 
"initiative" doesn't have a definition that matches our intended 
meaning, and has an implied temporary context.  In hindsite 
"Organization" is far more appropriate than "Initiative", although I 
still think it sounds stuffy.

I'd propose that we instead use "OpenSolaris Consortium".  Its 
technically accurate and sounds better than Organization.  Nothing will 
sound as right as "OpenSolaris Community", but because we're referencing 
in the constitution sub-entities named "Communities" there is a 
conflict.  I checked the charter, and while "OpenSolaris community" is 
noted several times, a lower-case c is always used and therefore I don't 
take it to bind us to that name.

Unless there is objection I'd propose the name change be adopted.
