[lir-wg] Name of the LIR WG

Hi

I am sure we all agree that this Working Group is an "open forum where
RIPE policy is made".

However this is not immediately obvious from the name Local Internet
Registry Working Group (LIR WG). There seem to be a couple of apparent
problems...

1) The Purpose of the working group is not clear - mainly to newcomers,
but also to others.

2) non-LIRs most likely have the impression that the Working Group is
not open to them even though it is open to anyone with rational
argument.

Thus a proposal is to change the name of this working group to "Policy
WG" or similar.. if only to remove any implications of the WG being a
closed shop. This would also make it clear as to what the WG deals with.

So - any comments? Please start a discussion on this in time for the
upcoming meeting in Amsterdam where we hope there will be a consensus on
this matter.

Regards
Denesh
