<h3 id="dnsbl--dronebl">DNSBL / DroneBL</h3>
<p>The organisational interest for the future of DNSBL usage was gauged due to
raised concerns around technical and organisational issues around DroneBL.</p>
<p>The organisation indicated a preference towards something new made and/or run
in collaboration with others.
The organisation also indicated a preference towards not relying on DroneBL
forever.
Lastly, the organisation indicated a preference towards not expanding the
organisation’s purpose to include running abuse mitigation services.</p>
<h3 id="update-on-establishing-a-bank-account">Update on establishing a bank account</h3>
<p>The meeting was brought up to speed on the current progress on establishing a
bank account, circumstances indicate it will continue to be a lengthy process.</p>
<h2 id="other-questions">Other questions</h2>
<h3 id="nick-expiration-policy">Nick expiration policy</h3>
<p>A suggestion to extend the nickname expiration to 52 weeks was made,
discussion about benefits and issues with this policy change was held.
The meeting decided to expand the nickname expiration to 20 weeks and evaluate
the effects of this change. This change will be made no earlier than 10 weeks
after it has been announced. The meeting also showed interest in discussing
reducing the maximum allowed number of grouped nicknames in the future.</p>
<h3 id="permanent-solution-for-opt-in-user-cloaking-without-staff-intervention">Permanent solution for opt in user cloaking without staff intervention</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://github.com/Libera-Chat/cloaks"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">#libera-cloak</code> bot</a> has been
identified as pretty useful and there has been suggestions to allow this
permanently. The engineering team was tasked with devising how and
implementing that. This pertains to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">user/</code> cloaks, project cloaks were not
included in this discussion.</p>
<h3 id="consensus-based-decision-making-training">Consensus-based decision making training</h3>
<p>A brief status update on our continuous staff training efforts was shared.</p>
<h3 id="update-from-the-working-group-on-processes-for-dealing-with-staff-misconduct">Update from the working group on processes for dealing with staff misconduct</h3>
<p>The working group updated the meeting on their current progress for devising
processes for dealing with staff misconduct.
The group had identified behaviours the process should prevent and values the
process need to uphold.
They also shared draft ideas for how the process could look and collected
feedback from the meeting.</p>
