Should we use a new name for the community of residents?
- Let's make an effort to start promoting a new name that reflects the community of users, and leave Second Life® as the name of the technology! (40%)

- No, nobody would ever use it. Second Life® has too much visibility. (24%)
- I'm indifferent or have no suggestion on what's best for Our World. (4%)
- Maybe we could co-promote a different name, but continue to use Second Life® within Linden Lab® guidelines. (4%)
