  I think that's a fine idea (except make it 3-5 people). But you always insist
on finding people who don't have strong opinions on the subject of naming.
I claim such a person doesn't exist. Anyone who would be willing to volunteer
the time, and take the inevitable flames and abuse that would go along with
such a position, is going to have strong opinions on how groups should be 
named. That's why a small group would be necessary, to overcome possible
strong biases of a single person that might lead to a bizarre decision in
a particular case.
