Daphne: first many thanks to you and others for coordinating this huge
undertaking. I greatly appreciate your efforts and your very even
handed approach. My two cents from the list below is 
 
Gender, Poverty, Race, and Literacy
 
or keeping the old name.
 
Words like class, color, are for me a lot less potent and/or
motivating than poverty and race.
 
Again, thanks for this work.
 
Cheers
 
Jim Killacky

Subject: [PovertyRaceWomen 1488] New Name?



Thanks to all the contributors who sent in ideas regarding the
possible name change for our list. After reviewing the different
possibilities and discussing them with National Institute for Literacy
staff, it seems as if the following names fit the most appropriately
with the purpose of our discussion list (listed in alphabetical
order):

Class, Color, Gender, and Literacy
Class, Ethnicity, Gender, and Literacy
Class, Gender, Race, and Literacy
Diversity and Literacy
Gender, Income, Race, and Literacy
Gender. Poverty, Race, and Literacy
Literacy and Voice

Or

Keeping it as is: Poverty, Race, Women and Literacy

It is completely up to us which of the above names we want to select.

Please be aware, that if we change the name of the list, we will need
to create a new list.  Current subscribers will be automatically
subscribed to the new list.  Each subscriber will receive a
confirmation email with a new password and information about the list.

Here is what I am proposing. Between now and January 21, let us have a
discussion on the pros and cons of the various names above (please do
not suggest new names). Then between January 22nd and February 11th,
people can select their top choice (only one please) either on list or
off list to me (dgreenberg at gsu.edu)

So who, would like to start the discussion by providing feedback on
the pros/cons of any of the above names for our list?

Daphne
