The conclusion was that a number of choices for a new name would be put forward and that Quantum's contributors would vote for one of those choices.
Is there any process for coming up with the shortlist? Public brainstorming generally sucks for this kind of thing, but polls are also not great. In my experience, nothing works better than a smallish group of creative people working together with brand lawyers to come up with themes, and from those themes generating options, then working through the options for feasibility (web & trademark search). That said, Octopus is great. Cheers, Dave. PS.
