That is correct.

Please point to one of these new rules. Everything in come from existing ASF 
policy put into context for these platforms. This is advice to help projects 
comply with policy. Some podlings are currently not doing that. How else would 
you suggest we fix that?

Well another alternative I see is to ban the use of all alternative channels 
until we do have ASF policy in place for their use. I don’t think projects 
would be happy with that.

Thanks,
Justin
