That won't solve the problem. What *would* solve the problem is the more 
general thing you are implying: Get the people that have been indecisive to 
agree on a way to pick a name, and then stick to whatever comes out of that.

Whether that's a poll on some website, asking The Great Dictator to just pick 
a name or dropping it in the lap of a random Working Group does not make a 
difference. (But also within the Working Groups, you need consensus and a 
clear mandate.)
So a first step would be to create consensus on how to make this decision (and 
the odds seem to become better since more and more people are getting tired 
of this name-limbo, including yours truly.)

So who does have problems with a web poll? Speak up *now* or stfu forever on 
this subject. :-)

[ There is a dotstory already written to announce the poll, and I saw some 
poll URL coming by on IRC yesterday, so that seems to me a way to get this 
handled really soon now. ]

The Working Group part does not make too much sense to me, the rest does.
