[tor-project] minutes from the sysadmins

[Antoine Beaupré via tor-project <tor-project@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

# Roll call: who's there and emergencies

all folks on the team present

# Normal check-in

Went through the normal per person check-in.

# Roadmap review (Q4)

postponed to next week

# Other discussions

## incident response proposal

feedback:

- good to have procedure, nice that we can keep it simple and the
  complexity is optional
- do we want to document *when* we need to start the procedure? some
  incidents are not documented right now... yes.
- unclear exactly what happens, when roles get delegated... current
  phrasing implies the original worker is the only one who can
  delegate
- people can bump in and join the team, e.g. "seems like you need
  someone on comms, i'll start doing that, ok?"
- add examples of past or theoretical incidents to the proposal to
  clarify the process
- residual command position, once all roles have been delegated,
  should default to team lead? it's typically the team lead's role to
  step in those situation, and rotate into that role
- no pager escalation
- define severity
- discomfort at introducing military naming, we can call it incident
  lead

anarcat will work on improvements to the proposal following the
discussion.

# Next meeting

Next week, we'll try to work again on the roadmap review.
