[Board] IRS 501c3 Requirement: renaming Marketing Committee to Outreach Committee

[Cameron Shorter]

Daniel, I'm open to the suggestion, but only if we can see reasonable 
value in it, as name changing is a bit messy. It means that web pages 
and archives point to old URLs which becomes confusing for someone 
searching for prior information.

Can you please provide some background explaining that this is more than 
just a minor hunch that we are basing a name change on.
Maybe:
* Who is suggesting it?
* Is there any real or anecdotal evidence they can point to?
