everything we do, the process of choosing the name is open and based on
input from communty members. The name critera are described in [1], and
this time around we were looking for names starting with U associated with
China. With some extra assistance from local community members (thank you
to everyone who helped!), we have a list of candidate names that will go
into the poll. Below is a subset of the names propsed, including those that
meet the standard criteria and some of the suggestions that do not. Before
we start the poll, the process calls for us to provide a period of 1 week
so that any names removed from the proposals can be discussed and any
last-minute objections can be raised. We will start the poll next week
using this list, including any modifications based on that discussion.

For the above options, it's not common to use [GR] system, in Shanghai (or
almost entire China area). So if we like to reduce confusion and
unnecessary arguments also to get recognized by audiences (as width as we
can), I don't think these are good choices.

As for all below geographic options, most of them originally from different
languages like Mongolian or Russian, so generally speaking, most people
won't use Pingyi system for that name. And I don't think it helps to put
it's Pinyin on top too.

I think this might be my fault here. because it's *Ussuri*! so let's
s/Ussri/Ussuir/ (bad Rico! bad!)
