We are on exactly the same page here :). In fact, I considered the possibility 
of domain-name/trademark grabbing (think Linux) seriously enough that I almost 
chose to send the list I wrote to a few key DotGNU members only. However, I 
believe that I placed enough possible variation in that list to cause no 
concern (BTW, Platonium, someone else already thought of it :( )

Also, the current lack of PR situation is useful in this circumstance. However, 
to maintain democracy, the 'private list' should ONLY include those topics, and 
any topic discussed should have a stated reason that it is kept private.
