Acronymic expansion of LibriVox

One of my hobbies is turning words into acronyms. For example, did
you know that acronym is itself an acronym: Annoying, Compressed
Representations Of Names You (always) Misunderstand. (I'm rather
proud of this one.) So, I've turned my attention upon LibriVox.
Here's the first go (a recursive acronym):

LibriVox Internet Book Recording Initiative -- Voices Of eXperience

I work in acronym hell... the Air Force... (not military, just support contractor)... so I personally hate acronyms.... but they are fun to mess with.

A year ago+ we did a transformation and our organization acronym actually had to be changed because of the detailed, vulgar explanations of the acronyms we were coming up with.

in canada there were two right wing parties:

the Reform Party of canada
and the Progressive Conservative party of canada

after much debate & controversy they decided, sort of, to join forces. the resulting party (for one, wonderful, day) was called:

Canadian Conservative Refom Alliance Party

they quickly changed their name, for obvious reasons, to Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance...which morphed finally into the Conservative Party of Canada.

here's a link that proves I didn't make it up:

As I read it, I can actually hear your voice grandly enunciating it in that inimitable ChipDoc style!
