There's no guarantee that Gilgamesh will still be around come launch. They have confirmed that the legacy servers are sticking around, and all of the legacy servers follow the name of powerful weapons in Final Fantasy games. I suspect that Gilgamesh and the other non legacy servers that are being used in beta will be renamed to follow the naming conventions established by the existing legacy servers. Square Enix did pretty much the same thing for Final Fantasy XI, the beta servers had antagonist or monster names, the launch servers all have summon names.
Of course, this is only educated speculation, but it does give me pause about holding a vote before phase 4. People may be very committed and excited for servers that may not even have the same name come launch.
The possibility of server names changing is very much something people should stay aware of. In that event, another poll would have to be held immediately upon the server names being known (unless SE decided to finally label one of the new servers as a RP one, which would take everything out of our hands).
At the very least, the vote will allow individuals to congregate on one of the beta servers and start forming connections however they see fit for the duration of phase 3, connections that could then easily transfer to the newly named servers (assuming there are newly named servers).
