I think you touched on something really important which is currently lacking from the message we are conveying. You mentioned it "creates a feeling of security, confidence, support, trust, responsibility" with respect to the word community. Its great that you think that and I agree with you. You will have, I'm sure, noticed that it doesn't necessarily create these feelings in others and that's a cultural thing I expect. I think however in the markets that we are looking at, namely EMEA, the idea of community is positive thing and so I'm inclined to think that its a step in the right direction.

I think you have a positive outlook on the proposition overall if I understand you comment correctly. I also agree that while no name change would occur the discussion is still important. I too share the view that as along we don't mislead with the message we choose we have plenty of words at out disposal to create a better, clearer message; especially when it comes to taking that message to non English speaking countries.
