<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">following a suggestion by the Software Freedom Conservancy GitHub renamed their master-branch to main in order to avoid potentially offensive vocabulary or allusions to slavery.<br>
<br>
MEI would like to follow this lead and rename the master-branch of <a href="https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding">https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding</a> and other repositories where applicable. Following the discussion on GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding/issues/776">https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding/issues/776</a>)
the Technical Team set up this poll to take in the community's votes on a closed list of potential new names for our current master-branch, used to disseminate tagged versions (e.g. MEI 3.0.0, MEI 4.0.0 MEI 4.0.1).<o:p></o:p></p>
