01Discussion does not require a contest
A debate can be organised around learning what follows from a proposal, not simply selecting a winner. A future CivicDebate publication might give more space to clarifying questions than to a final vote. That is a choice of format, not a dictionary claim about the only meaning of debate. Its introduction should tell participants whether they are comparing arguments, rehearsing speaking skills or contributing to a decision that someone else will actually make.
02Keep authority explicit
Civic is an association with public matters, not proof of official status. An independent project should identify itself as independent and explain whose material it publishes. If a hypothetical exercise uses an invented town, label it as invented. If a real institution commissions a discussion, its relationship and decision-making role should be stated separately. These distinctions let the name carry a public-interest tone without borrowing authority from a government body or a community it has not consulted.
03A direct spelling for the format
CivicDebate contains eleven letters before the extension: five in Civic and six in Debate. The capital D makes the join visible. The matching .com can hold a publication, a resource library or information about a facilitation practice. Those uses share a subject but have different obligations to their audiences. A focused subtitle and clearly labelled examples would do more to explain the actual offer than a general claim to be the voice of the community.
