We should change the name "Inner Circle" to "SOL Core Staff & Delegates"

OM Oliver Minter Public Seen by 34

Recently there has been a discussion raised by some members of the Inner Circle, that the name “Inner Circle” appears to outsiders as exclusive and elitist, even though that was not the intention from the Holacratic principles that inspired the name. Some of us within the "Inner Circle" now wish to change that term.
I therefore put forward a suggestion that we replace it with the term “SOL Core Staff & Delegates".

The members of the Inner Circle voted 5 to 1 in FAVOUR of changing the term "Inner Circle" to "SOL/DDD Core Staff & Delegates" and 63% of members stated their position. Therefore we will now change the name.

I want to go ahead and change the term "Inner Circle" to "SOL Core Staff & Delegates".

I think this name sounds less elitist and better explains who the actual members of the "Inner Circle" are...

Happy to refer to the IC differently. As long as the names avoids elitism and hierarchic connotations.

I think that in order for us to appeal to the public more, we need to be careful about the language we use, and I think that this better reflects what we do.

I think 'Inner Circle' sends the wrong message.

All of the above reasons make me agree.
I still prefer Admin but Sol core staff will do.

Are you proposing to change just that way Loomio is organised or the way that SOL is organised?
