+## Open questions
+
+### Should the name of the team be "toolchain team" or "implementation team"?
+
+Some core team members expressed a preference for "implementation team", none
+expressed a preference for "toolchain team", all were fine either way. As
+gribozavr noted, and everyone at the review meeting agreed, the team should be
+free to choose its own name.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Carbon's goals include providing a reference implementation and tooling.
+Delivering this complex software requires a dedicated team, vision, leadership,
+and a degree of autonomy.
