  Subject: [resistance] Request for Help: Group Name Dilemma



  I've created a problem for myself, and I'd like your input about 
  how to resolve it.

  I've decided to focus my consulting business on resistance.  The 
  tag line, or motto, that I want to use for my business is 
  "Resistance as a Resource."  I've used that phrase as the name of 
  a workshop and as the name of an article.  The name captures the 
  essence of my attitude about resistance.  Many people associate 
  the name with me.

  When I created this Yahoo! Group back in February, I didn't know 
  I would be focusing my business in this way.  So I gave the group 
  a name that I thought would help attract people who approach 
  resistance with curiosity and respect.

  Given the wonderful things that have happened in this group in 
  the two weeks since we've started the dialogue, I want the group 
  to continue as a community of peers.  I want this to be /our/ 
  group, not Dale's group.

  I worry that calling the group by a name that is somewhat 
  associated with me, and that I want to associate even more 
  strongly with me, will detract from the spirit of community.

  I'm thinking of two possibilities.  First, I can change the name 
  of the group to something that is not so closely identified with 
  me.  Second, I can leave the name as is.  For the past few days, 
  I've been considering a third option of finding a different motto 
  for my business.  I've decided that the third option doesn't fit 
  for me right now.

  Changing the name of the group would change the e-mail address 
  and the web address (URL).  If we want to do this, I'd like to do 
  it soon, while the membership is relatively small.

  What are your thoughts about this?  Would you like me to leave 
  the name as is?  Change it?  To what?  ("Resistance" is already 
  taken.)  What other possibilities do you see?

  Thank you,
  Dale
