Oi!
Starting this thread for a descriptive and nicer name than the global-south.
Potential names proposed during/around the Tor meeting:
- notEUS
- lava
- LATAM
Ummm... "Global South" has some bad things, yes, but it is clearly more descriptive and reaching than the other proposed ones. LATAM could work, if you restrict the scope of the group to Latin America (am unsure if it aligns with the general feeling)...
Note that, as a Mexican, "Global South" feels a bit inadequate, as we are clearly North-Hemispheric (although there is an undeniable North-South divide, not denying that). I would be happy in a "Global South" group. I would be happy in a LATAM group (is it an endorsement for the airline group by that name?) But we _are_ excluding Africa, Asia, Oceania...
Maybe if a better understanding of the group's _definition_ is found, a fitting name will emerge naturally out of it?
