How about:

Citizens for Open Access to Civic Information and Data (CivicAccess/Accès civique - for short!)

We believe that citizens need open access to civic information and data at no cost, particularly in an information society as being an engaged citizen means being an informed citizen. continue to the CivicAccess.ca site

caac is like ah - caca!

"It's our data. Let us use it." - we are allowed to use them already, but only if we pay!

I agree with both remarks :

- The sentenses on the splash screen could be more precise about our goal.

- The more it goes, the more we use CivicAccess instead of COACID. COACID gives
a clearer definition but usually people don't really notice the signification
of words in such names/acronyms. So we may simply remove COACID and remain with
CivicAccess. Is it necessary to keep an acronym like CAAC ? I don't think. We
could just use CivicAccess + the little motto Hugh sent "It's our data. Let us
use it." (for example)

another suggestion:
why not change the name of the organization from:
*Citizens for Open Access to Civic Information and Data (COACID)/
Citoyen-ne-s pour l'Accès Libre à l'Information et aux Données Civiques
(CALIDC)

to:
*Civic Access/Accès citoyen (CAAC)
