CAcert System Admins discussion list

[Philipp Dunkel <philipp.dunkel AT me.com>]

You are right when you add physical street addresses. However I think  
a list of phone numbers and chat/skype/irc contact info could well be  
kept there.

Do a
#> dig -t NAPTR emergency.cacert.tel
to see what I have in mind.

If we have multiple listings for each role (admin/decider/arbitrator)  
one should always be reacheable by phone.

Well just my thought. I initially asked for street addresses as well,  
and I still think that the core people (board, admins and arbitrators)  
should exchange them, but I don't think that they will be that useful  
in an emergency response scenario.

Regards, Philipp
