7. conflict resolution - 10 minutes max
- IRC / Email / Communication Practice - Matt
  - This encapsulates the IRC policy question below, but extends beyond it.
  - Matt does not think a specific policy is the solution, though it is /a/ solution.
  - Matt suggests adding a new value will be helpful:
- Distributing "root" access over keeping "root" concentrated.
  - Possible use of a sudobot to decentralize power of ops
- IRC policy
  - Isï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ this a request to hash out a policy? or something else related to theï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ idea of an IRC policy? Please be as specific as possible
  - What attempts have been made at resolution?
- Suggestions:
  - IRC bot as founder
  - 4 founders voted upon
  - Rotational foundership
- Timon?
