If we vote on anything, I'd say we vote on investing someone with the responsibility of picking a server and discussing some pros and cons with the community :3
Not necessarily. The reason why everyone picked the name they liked most at the start is because we had precisely zero information as to what groups were going to what servers. We had loose guesses based on mapping bosses to games to cities, but those only panned out to an extent. (IX's boss server was Necron, I believe, and who in the world was rolling there?) Furthermore, there are several cities who didn't wind up getting any initial votes, and as a result they never had a chance once Lindblum and Besaid started approaching critical mass.
In other words, I think the initial vote (and quite possibly the final vote - I'll abide by the results with due diligence) went with surface qualities because we lacked any other meaningful criteria. We have more meaningful measurements to go by now.
Actually, the News Room thread regarding server selection did an admirable job of keeping track of which communities were going to which servers.
The fact is, most voters just didn't care. Which is no surprise.
But even ignoring that, once we do have more information regarding the servers, and we do get an idea of where would be best, doesn't necessarily mean the majority of voters will select that server.
I dunno, it just seems a little silly and unnecessarily bureaucratic.
