I have opened a different thread about how best to audit the work of the
Janitors.
Moving the show is indeed becoming an issue and needs to be done this
weekend. The initial suggestion was to move it to hpr3576 on 2022-04-18.
I suggest some of the people that objected to the move, or those who
have concerns about the process contact me directly. I can walk them
through the chain of events and they can report back to the list:
1. If the believe that the decisions taken by the Janitors (me in this
case) were in good faith.
2. If they agree with the course of action suggested.
They would of course be bound to the same rules of confidentiality that
I am.
Volunteers ?

I think they are off line for a bit as they haven't replied.

Here's what I'm hearing so far:
1. Our current janitors are doing a good job, and we trust them to
make decisions that are in the best interest of the podcast and the
community.
2. Everyone, including the janitors, would prefer a clear, objective
process that does not depend on that trust.
3. The current process is to reach out to the contributing host, after
the show is posted to the `future` feed, if there are any potential
issues with it.
5. If the contributing host cannot be reached, the mailing list is
asked for permission to move the show temporarily, until the
contributing host responds. The mailing list IS NOT asked to make a
judgment on the "potential issue".
4. There is an open question about what constitutes a "potential
issue" and whether the reach-out-to-host itself constitutes censorship
or at least a chilling effect. (I feel discussing this is important
but that answering the immediate question of temporarily moving the
show is pressing and needs an answer.)
Given, that the janitors are following the current process, my answer
is "yes, move the show".
As for the rest of us, feel free to continue debating whether that
process needs altering 🙂 I think it's a healthy discussion that
benefits the community, and ideally, allows the janitors to eventually
hand over their duties and retire (should they so wish), secure in the
knowledge that the process will safeguard both the podcast and the
community for decades to come.
Sincerest appreciation,
