Sorry to be a bit pedantic here, but this _is_ an important issue, and
if we're gonna do it, we need to have our ducks in a row from the get
go. Saying that "there would almost for sure be a winning name" is not
sufficient. We MUST clearly detail how the team deals with deadlock or
"failure" before we vote on this proposal.

Can we also require the team to provide an official findings document
which lays out the costs in detail?
Thanks.
