OK, I'll bite. IMO there is already a useful and efficient entity which is all about Free Software. What is needed is one that is All About Open Source. Sure, there are large intersection points between Free Software and Open Source, but also some differences.

OSI should celebrate not only that commonality but also those differences. Saying "Free Software is what we do, period." is a disservice to the countless people who look to OSI as the entity that sez "Open Source is what we do, period."

If, instead, OSI has decided that they are now a Free Software organization, and that Free Software is what "we" do, and that "our" focus is on "Free software" then, then let's change the name to the Free Software Initiative and open the gates for some other entity, who is all about Open Source, to take on that job, and do it proudly. :-)
