I imagine there wouldn't be any objection to me doing this, but since I like to ask first...

Can we change the name of the project to say "Spouses" instead? Especially since that looks likely to be the scenario come January.

That's an excellent idea and should be done.

Thanks, Kevin!

So with no objection, I'm going to make the change. Language matters.

Now it seems that we have a while before this makes a difference. Should we still keep it as spouses?

Yes. It's accurate, and using the inclusive term prevents us from needing to change it again in the future.

Should Doug Emhoff, Second Gentleman of the USA be added now to the project or should we wait till inauguration?
