[tor-project] Update from Tor's Community Council

Hi Matt,

Replying on behalf of the Community Council here.

Matthew Finkel:

See below! We listed them in the next sentence.

>> Procedures we are drafting include case handling, Council operations
>> (e.g. when and how we meet), and Council elections.

The current policies specify how voting takes place, and how
Councilmembers can run for Council and get elected. They are missing
some other important procedures, like how the question and answer period
should run. We all saw a need to fill in some of these blanks after the
last election became a little chaotic.

>> Policies we are drafting include conflict of interest, operational
>> security (in particular what we store and where), and confidentiality
>> (what is and is not confidential).

No problem! We'll share them out when we've got something worth sharing. :)
