I like this solution as well. Good job Sean!

Seems to me that the names being suggested fall into four categories:  

-          names reflecting the consumer of the interface (e.g. PDIO WG), 

-          names reflecting the target of the interface (e.g. Device
Direct), 

-          names reflecting the mechanism being proposed to hold these
interfaces (e.g. Open Framework)

-          names reflecting what we're actually doing e.g. Open Fabrics
Interface WG.  (Is my bias beginning to show?)

 

Two other considerations:  It would be helpful (but not required) if the
name/acronym we choose could also be applied to the resulting work product,
and IMHO it should reflect its open source/OFA heritage.

 

So I vote for OpenFabrics Interface (OFI), and OpenFabrics Interface Working
Group (OFIWG), respectively.

I like "Open Fabrics Interfaces" the best since it is generic (gives us
headroom to grow) and uniquely name-scoped within the Open Fabrics org.

Open Fabrics Interfaces (Working Group)

 

Either of these names seems simple and self-explanatory enough to me.
