- that no house, SG or constituency  gets to determine the name of  
another house, SG or constituency.

The Board already determined the split between the houses and the  
stakeholder groups, so, as long as the name does not contradict the  
split, this should not be an issue for by-laws.

In general I also personally advocate a general rule to be followed in  
all matters of "where is X decided?" and that is of subsidiarity in  
that, except for global issues like PDP and Contractual conditions,  
all decisions are made at the lowest unit of organization in the  
bottom up chain.  This includes things like names, methods by which  
houses elect their council vice-chairs, how SG elect their council  
members, etc... With the Board always maintaining its role/ 
responsibility of advice and consent.

I support.
