Noise implies useless information. I'm certain that SYNHAK would find 
someone's reason for wanting access to AWS and all of our servers to be useful 
and even important information.

I'm concerned about this "virtual conflict" you perceive. Why would you think 
that an open discussion about security would create conflict?

You're also aware that meeting in person during a meeting aren't the 
conditions for getting a key, right? It involves a proposal for Consensus. 
There's also the fact that a physical door key is completely different from 
having administrative access to synhak.org.

I will block any proposal to grant you AWS access on the grounds that you 
haven't demonstrated why I should trust you, and that you're currently 
demonstrating some interesting interpretations of protocols.
