Woah...

I object to this policy.  In it's current form, it would allow any op to 
blanket ban me from Ubuntu Core channels due to the fact that I connect 
via my own, personal VPS, and I do not have public contact details for 
that host.

In my opinion, this document needs to state that it is not ok to ban a 
host purely for not meeting those requirements.  It needs to state that 
those requirements are needed to LIFT a ban, and lack of those 
requirements will not be used as the sole basis to place a ban (and 
there should be a documented history of abuse before that is placed)
