Every year the binomial name of one creature should be revised by general vote of the public. Anyone who has published a paper on taxonomy in a reputable journal could propose a change and these would be voted on bracket style by the general public online.
The purpose would be to clean up names that are just terrible, vanity projects, unfair, confusing, or those that have obvious better alternatives.
Also to increase public engagement.
