[9:30pm] Bosun: we agreed to extend.
[9:30pm] Bosun: Tat sound good to me.
[9:31pm] Bosun: -> social medi guidelines
[9:31pm] Joe: thank ypu Bosun, did not know if it was official or not. 
[9:31pm] jokeefe: Please do Yari. Definitely needed.
[9:32pm] Joe: pardon my ignorance, but is that not what the code of conduct that Sayyida wrote was for?
[9:32pm] Bosun: When the chair asks if anyone objects it in implied that no objection is a positive vote.
[9:32pm] Yari: Joe could you link? Do you mean the COC on the discord?
[9:33pm] Bosun: No - media posting differ as they can infer position that people find objectionable.
[9:33pm] Joe: Sayyida did a good job on it, which had to do with a previous issue we faced as a group. could be useful.
[9:34pm] Bosun: No we have a meeting code of coduct.
[9:34pm] Bosun: A media code of conduct is different.
[9:35pm] Yari: with the blessing of the PNC, outreach will work on the guidelines. if the PNC decides there should be a specific set of people working on social media, I ask that the PNC address outreach with the responsibility of creating that structure
