The name of the [[RBE10K|RBE10K Project]] is contentious as a result of the inclusion of the accronim '''''RBE''''' as part of the name. Since [[TZM]] and [[TVP]] have been invested for several years in the advocacy of a form of [[RBEM]] which is dissimilar than that of the RBE10K Project, should the project become popular, the variances introduced by the project to the concept of a RBE using the same name could cause confusion and adverse effects in the perception of the objectives TZM and TVP have pursued throughout the years. Considering the longer history and invested effort in promoting TVP's original form of RBE, some TZM activists consider appropriate requesting that the RBE10K Project be renamed to prevent such potential confusion and adverse effects in popular perception. | The name of the [[RBE10K|RBE10K Project]] is contentious as a result of the inclusion of the accronim '''''RBE''''' as part of the name.

The term "community" usually refers to a social unit larger than a small village that shares common values[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community] while the term "settlement" refers to a permanent or temporary community in which people live or have lived[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_settlement]. Thus, from a semantic standpoint, the term "community" implies a more open and interdependent structure than "settlement" in that participants of the project would engage in activities involved specifically with the RBCE community as well as activities of commerce and trade in the currently dominant monetary economic model without necessarily having to live in a fixed geological area. |
