The document makes no mention of who 'The Proctors' are. My first reading says this is partly by design; but I would like to clarify that part (ie; the appointment of proctors is outside the scope of this document). The document makes no mention of what 'Gentoo Official Communication Infrastructure' is. Does it include the forums? Does it include all of IRC, some of IRC, etc. I don't wish for you to enumerate it in the document; that would be a PITA for you to maintain. My primary concern (as a former #gentoo op and a guy who reads the forum occasionally) is that if you are attempting to enforce this on the forums and on bits of IRC that they know you plan on doing so so they can mend their policies accordingly. IE I don't want to hear about how person Foo got banned on the forums for this magical new policy when the forums policy is still old, etc... The document refers to warnings but doesn't describe who they are supposed to be from. Are these warnings from the Proctor, from a dev, from a user? I guess in relation to my other point about; does this affect only main ML's or all Gentoo ML's? I have seen points of abuse on other mailing lists but I figured that most..what I'll term "project-ML's" are relatively self-policing (similarly to their #gentoo-<project> irc counterparts). I am wondering if this document is meant to smooth things over on the other ML's as well. I think that sums up all the real policy concerns I have; thanks for reading. -Alec -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
