Slipping your vote just under the wire there Tav 😄

Thanks everyone!

Alight 7 days is up, let's see what we got minus my vote:

 * [1] Rename to Committee (C R)
 * [2] Rename to PLC - (Tav and Marc)
 * [2] Abstain (Ted and Josh)

While PLC stands for "Public Limited Company", it's at least got the
right noun in there "Project Leadership Committee".

So I'll vote for PLC and we'll stipulate that we should avoid using the
PLC acronym in the documentation/website just to avoid that confusion.
We'll do the full name where possible.

Let me know if this interpretation of the votes as cast is incorrect by
the end of today.

Final votes are:

 * [1] Rename to Committee (C R)
 * [3] Rename to PLC - (Martin, Tav and Marc)
 * [2] Abstain (Ted and Josh)

So we'll kick off renaming the team the "Inkscape Project Leadership
Committee" in the relevant places. Wiki, website etc.

Thanks again for running through this practice vote. We should each do
one of these votes just to keep ourselves exercised. Chris, can't wait
to see what vote you'd run 😉

Best Regards, Martin Owens
