[sudo-discuss] {consensus?} IRC ownership

[Eddan Katz]

jenny - i didn't mean to bring it up before you sent your proposal. this problem with freenode's policies failing to prevent harassment has come up for almost a year now, it seems. we're probably not the only group of people who don't have a traditional organizational structure using IRC to communicate amongst the anti-surveillance digerati.

So will this guy Wooster please stand up? 
Can you help us try and make freenode a relevant platform of communication rather than the naked target practice feeling it has now?

Are there some non-Board nominees that can help make this crap stop?
Apparently, the problem is that the information warfare retaliation for dealing with these buffoons is so intimidating that it's not such a fun thing to volunteer to do. Marc is indeed extraordinarily savvy in computer security, but he can't be the only one around, right?

I don't want to put Bill on the spot too much, but maybe between you and Justin (klafka) we could at least designate someone if not one of the two of you?

I'm not on IRC much so I haven't followed the moderation control developments since they'd been discussed earlier on. I don't remember what we agreed on, but I do remember there being preference for a distributed moderation solution.
