I say CPU.
In the low chance that PEACE becomes affiliated as well, the name can then be adapted to CyPeUn - Conscieusness-Peace-University

Hmmm, I wonder how will Tassadar vote

I'd go for CPU, but I'd call it "Combined Planetary Union" or some such, to incorporate PEACE too. The initials work, it's a digital-like name, and it goes with our ethos, IMHO.

Or call it the Collective University of Conciousness? Not sure, but not so keen on the rest.

CPU is definately the acronym we should use. The real question is what the letters should stand for.

"Conscious Planet Union" (maybe too Gaian)
"Collective Planetary Union" (maybe not CyCon enough, but with CPU, I don't think that's needed)
"Consciousness Plus University"

With different acronyms:

"(the) Cybernetic Peace Researchers" (CPR)
"(the) University of Conscious Peace" (or "Conscious University of Peace")

I will wait for day or two just in case that other 13 members decide to outvote CPU, and then post a poll about what should acronym mean.

That's because we resist to Tass' obligatory choices

And Obstructor, I don't think you'll get enough votes for USSR.

It is theoretically possible... It was just the fact that CPU and USSR both sounded nice towards me.
