Dear Pine, I beg to differ on two points: As the Wikimedia Foundation is an essential part of this event, I don't consider "Wikimedia Affiliates Summit" as more accurate. This event covers, as mentioned before, the "organized (or "structured") part of the Wikimedia movement". As 'Wikimedia Summit' has not been used before in the Wikimedia movement (only for the 'Developers Summit'), I think this name is fresh, unused, short and easy to understand.
While I have asked for feedback on the concept extensively via different channels and opportunities, I think, it's not a wise decision to ask for public comment for a renaming. I consider the name of a conference as one of less relevant parts of organizing a conference. I would encourage to give feedback on more relevant issues than the name of an event.
