If WBCCI abandons the name, does it become available to others to form a club which promotes Airstream trailers and travel.
Is the name under a copyright at this time?
Interesting concept?
The proposed name change is "Airstream Owners Association International Inc." or AOAII. I will vote NO to that name. I can see changing it to what Shari suggested, Wally Byam Airstream Club, or something similar, but I will not go along with throwing Wally under the bus just because we've done a poor job keeping his name publicly known. The new name is so poor that I actually wonder if it was done on purpose with the intent of insuring a 'no' vote from the membership.
Everyone needs to pay real close attention to the action item that comes back down from the IBT. We don't have any real details yet (or at least I don't) but it looks like this motion could come back down with one yes vote and TWO no votes.
If the NO vote crowd gets split between a NO vote and an AMEND vote that could spell AOAI certainty.
We'll know more when it finally gets back to us, but be prepared to VOTE NO REGARDLESS. If we split your new club name WILL be AOAI!

Answer: I don't know, but I'll bet anything that started Wally Byam XXXXXXX Club would be pretty interesting to a heck of a lot of people if the WBCCI tosses it! Sorry, missed your post earlier...
