[re-ECN] Acronym for BoF / w-g?

Hi Congestion Exposers (or should that be ex-posers?),

Lars & Jari need an acronym.

Can someone suggest a way to decide between the 
ideas proposed so far below, rather than just 
going round and round on the list?

Context - CONgestion EXposed Truthfully
Counted - COngestion {UNiversally Truthfully} ExposeD
Exact - EXposing All CongesTion
Expect - EXPosing CongesTion
ExCeTra (pronounced etc.) - EXposing Congestion TRAnsparently
CEX - Congestion EXposure or Congestion Exposure eXperiments
ConEx - Congestion Exposure
re-ECN - re-inserted Explicit Congestion Notification (or receiver aligned)
re-con - Reinserted Congestion? Also alluding to military reconnaissance
Trac - Transport with accountabiliy
Travis or Tracvis - Transport with congestion visiblity

I've removed a couple the original proposer 
didn't really like, to try to start converging.

If we're voting, I vote for CEX (with a soft C of course).

Bob
