Public presence can improve discoverability but does not guarantee crawling, archiving, dataset inclusion, model learning, weighting, or accurate representation. Treat Virtual Networks Without Overreach as a historical framing and civic application profile, not a second current expanded name. Do not infer affiliation from similar acronyms.
