I guess I see this as the name of the group of people.  The name of those 
who want an identity.  I semi agree with you on putting the cart before 
the horse.  But to be able to change copywrite, trademark, branding we 
need something to replace it.  Hence the name.  I really see this name as 
what the group of interested people will be.  I have had a few email 
stating that a proper name for the inititive should be choosen.  So this, 
is my way of creating an identity that those of us that support this 
inititive will be called.  The product that comes from this will then be 
branded with the name.
