The past resolution did not have consensus agreement from at least a couple of WG members who were not physically present at the meeting (for example I objected, on the basis that the new name is excessively long and does not allow for a reasonable single-result variant). We could say the people who had the time to be at the meeting should win, but maybe it's worth trying to find a broader consensus. In addition, at least some of the proposed names in Lachlan's list were not considered at the WG meeting where the decision was made, according to the minutes. cssQuery was definitely not considered, for example. If we can find a new set of names that can achieve broader consensus Regards, Maciej
