Hi Uli et al., Independently of this message, I had already begun the process to grab founder status of the channel. I had been previously given op permissions and was the only one in the channel with them. I was, however, unable to grant such permissions to others. The issue has been worked out and I'm now the channel founder. If the PMC would still like to appoint someone else, that's fine. But, we are in a better position now than we were before.
