Incorrect. This was RTD's decision. Essentially, the BBC got in some trouble for making a fake UNIT web site during series one. RTD wanted to avoid possible further trouble with fans trying to make web sites for a non-existent UN organization, so to avoid that, he changed the name. If he wanted to, he could have kept it the same and there is nothing the UN could have done about it. The decision to change it was his alone.
