RE: [cti] Motion: Open Repository Proposal - STIX 1 to STIX 2 converter

["Back, Greg" <gback@mitre.org>]

Thanks, Terry.

I was worried that it might be vague or confuse people (though I suppose the same could be said about 'stix-elevator'). If we never anticipate anything else needing to be called a "STIX Converter", I guess it could be OK. 

I'm curious what other people think.
