This is more or less in line with what I think we’ve anticipated. I really appreciate you providing the info.
That said… to outreach or not to outreach… that is the question. — I’m going to try to remain impartial in order to facilitate. (i.e. this isn’t my opinion, I’m just trying to help move things forward). The scenario w/ Jeep is the most synonymous to Apache. (We are named for a tribe, rather than a synonymous term or epithet). I’m side stepping the logo for the moment. The last words I could find on the subject (w/ a brief scan) were March of 2021 - Chief Hoskins of the Cherokee Nation did request a name change from Jeep. - Jeep opened up talks, but they didn’t comply.

It was deemed to be low: primarily based on our historic use of the name (we have been pretty respectful with it) and the fact that whoever brings the lawsuit will have to have a standing. Thanks, Roman.
