This has been bothering me quite a lot, for quite some time. We have<br>
many pending OPS requests for our channels. For whatever reason, we<br>
cannot seem to get and work on them.<br>
<br>
So. On behalf of the IRCC, I present you the list, as fresh as of<br>
2015-10-16T004449 UTC [1].<br>

I would like to conduct an informal voting on the ML. Votes can be<br>
either publicly sent to the ML (and reasoning on why yes or no is very<br>
welcome), or sent to me. I will tally all such votes, and present the<br>
results (or my inability to reach a result) to the ML, as well. Votes<br>
that have been sent directly to me will be collected and shared with<br>
the rest of the IRCC.<br>
<br>
I do believe that two weeks is a long enough time for this; as such, I<br>
am declaring a show-down by the wee hours of November 30th, UTC. This<br>
year, mind you.<br>
<br>
And the year is 2015, just for the sake of clarity.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
