No private JIRA. Needs to be ASF hosted.

Slack channels tend to disadvantage people who can't be available at a given time (either due to other commitments or time zones). We use it in infra for time sensitive coordination, but my sense is that the D&I work should be done in a more... dare I say it... inclusive manner using mailing lists and JIRA and the like. > // I will comment on Kenn's point in a separate note, he outlined great > points for us to put into an overall D&I strategy > > Thanks everyone!
