I'm going to subscribe this list to that repository so any pull
requests can be seen here.<br>
<br>
We will put this policy as a pull request before the council votes
on it. Once a motion is moved to approve the policy the pull request
will be merged. Since this is preliminary feedback we will propose
it to the repository in its next iteration.<br>

Colleagues, <br>
<br>
We're now in a position to send the first draft
policy to this mailing list to seek feedback,
comments and input, which is warmly welcomed by
reply to list or to myself privately. <br>
<br>
The driver for this policy is unfortunately a
negative one; in the past abuse of Linux Australia
mailing lists through poor behaviour has taken
significant time to contain and to steer back to an
'unheated' state. This policy seeks to enable
community moderation while clearly demarcating
expected standards of behaviour and consequences for
transgressing such. <br>
<br>
Your time and efforts in review are appreciated and
valued. <br>
<br>
With kind regards,<br>
Kathy<br>
