I'd say no. The Arrow PMC will need to decide on the name to use going forward. Remember that the trademark law is intended to avoid confusion of consumers in the marketplace. The PMC will ask if anyone will be confused between e.g. https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/ballista/index.html and https://github.com/ballista-compute/ballista . But that only applies if the PMC decides to keep the name of the sub-project. There is no reason to change the name of your git project before moving the code to Arrow. Once it's in the Arrow repository you can make the changes to file/directory names and copyright notices, etc. > > 2.

Include the names of the folks who have not responded to your request and the size of their contributions, and the risk in case they don't file an ICLA and later show up demanding that you remove their contributions.
