[IndiChix] Chapter Name suggestions

[Gayathri Swaminathan]

Hello:

Oh I see what you did here. Total misinterpretation and another paragraph of
arguments.

Yes, am saying the decision be that of advisory group on how to conduct
these efforts, that is,

- Identify if name change is necessary
  - If yes, Collect suggestions for name change
  - If no, find ways to promo using existing name

Yup, we understand no super powers but a lot of responsibility rests on
advisory group.

Read my emails however you want, but I think **there is a legitimate issue**
with the "chix" part in name.

This thread was started with **earnest interest for an open discussion** for
yey/nay discussions, suggestion of names.

Thanks for that wiki block you posted earlier, those are good concerns.
Nope, the rest of flaming/pointing fingers have not helped much or been so
advisory.

Having been here only six months at LC-IN, am already seeing that pattern I
posted earlier.

Nope, it does not seem welcoming to newbies/ newcomers.

So let me get this, you have eager college graduates wanting to be part of
something huge, take part in proactive activities and after encouragement
they join here and see all this lamefest! - not a pretty picture.
