I'd prefer WikiEducator Academy.

Dear Dr. Wayne and all other friends,
It is very encouraging to note that we are unanimous in respect of the
need and definitely we have to finalize a name that shall not make any
confusion. The name Community College has already confused Harbans ji with
the US Community College system and Joyce has cautioned with humor that
the name is bound to confuse :) Therefore let us finalize a name through
a rough consensus poll as Dr. Wayne has suggested.
Now we may give 10 days, ie upto May 10, 2012, for our WE friends to
suggest names as reply to this mail. Thereafter we will run a rough
consensus poll for another 7 days (ie from May 14 to 20, 2012) to select a
name from the nominations.
We have two nominations already:
- Open World College - from Patricia and
- WikiEducator Academy - from Dr. Wayne
Hi friends, now please add your nominations as reply to this mail.
Dr Wayne, in his reply, has given an additional reason for us to be more
enthusiastic in this initiative I think there are also exciting
opportunities to explore formal accreditation options for these training
opportunities through the OERu network in conjunction with open badges for
selected initiatives.
Hurry up!!!

Hi Anil,
I think its an excellent idea to establish some form of WikiEducator
Academy who take leadership in promoting regular training opportunities.
This is a testament to our core community values of sharing knowledge for
the benefit of all educators.
The concept of WikiEducator Community College could be confused with
Community Colleges in the US -- so I guess it would be worth exploring
alternatives. Post a request to the community asking for nominations and
you could run a rough consensus poll for choosing the name for this
initiative. I also think that when building a new volunteer community focus
like this, that formalizing the initiative too soon with Academic Council
elections etc may stall growth during the formative stages. That said, this
is something which a work group can consider as the project unfolds.
I think there are also exciting opportunities to explore
formal accreditation options for these training opportunities through the
OERu network in conjunction with open badges for selected initiatives.
Great idea!
Wayne

Dear Friends,
First of all I would congratulate Harbans ji, Sebastian ji, Balqis, and
Jonas for getting WikiBuddy certifications though their proactive
participation in the WikiBuddy certification guidance week held from
23-04-2012 to 29-04-2012 (
http://wikieducator.org/Training:WikiBuddy_certification_guidance_week_23.09.2012
).
They were the only participants (excluding a new user as the event was for
Wiki Apprentices). I also thank other three colleagues who encouraged the
event by offering facilitation support immediately on announcing the event
and Dr. Wayne for his moral support.
Based on the thoughts and wiki conversations during the past week, I
would like to ask the community 'Shall we establish a WikiEducator
Community College for our WikiEducator members and those who aspire to
join the WE community?'. The abstract ideas are given below:
1. The Objectives of the Community College Would be to:
1. conduct L4C as a regular course
2. conduct regular
