It’ll be a very very important RFC. More than elections, it’s about all global identity. CentralNotice is appropriate.

I concur, it sounds sensible.
(I'll note, I'm not actually against the name change proposal - but it's got to be presented to the community properly.)

HI David,
Yes, it stands to reason to announce on all wikis in a similar way as the announcements about board or steward elections.
Best, Kiril

Right.
I guess a central notice about an RfC would be appropriate.

Hi all,
It seems like there is a clear consensus to open an RfC on Meta about
this,
so we can safely move forward with it and close this thread.
Otherwise, we
will most likely keep up boggling our minds with the 20-per-cent
metric and
endlessly discuss how unfortunate is this for the global community
when the
only rational thing we can do is take action and save everyone's time.
Do you have any concluding remarks or comments regarding the RfC?
Best regards, Kiril

I’m against and sincerly I don’t trust this datas (80% agrees? Are
you
kidding me? I’ve seen the meta discussion). I think a Meta CLEAR
VOTE as
suggested here is the best way. Imposing a change like this is a
wrong
decision.
Regards.
