Ted,
Huh? Why on earth is it hard? Strings are cheap.
On some previous WG creation exercise I was told that once the WG
creation process is in the IETF's database system, the WG acronym cannot
be changed, you can delete it and create a new one, but you cannot the
acronym. Of course, I could create a new one and ask it to be brought to
the right state... hopefully without having to re-do any real-life
steps, like announcements going out or the topic being on the IESG
telechat. This might work, but I'd have to investigate further to ensure
that it actually is possible. If it was the only problem I would.
The other problem is that people may already recognize the name. And I
don't have a nice replacement acronym in mind. Multple Interfaces is a
very concrete description of the problem, even if its not the most
generic one. Multiple Attachments to Networks (MAN, but too close to
6MAN), Connections to Multiple Networks (CMN, a bit boring), etc. But
its too late in the day here to be creative. I'm sure someone sends the
coolest acronym in reply :-)
Bottom line: not impossible, but requires some effort.
Jari
