Private Slack Channels 

Team

 The community raised the issue of there being private Slack Channels on FOLIO's Slack in its #general channel:

There are a number of private channels in FOLIO's Slack workspace. For an open project, I believe this is problematic, because:

There is a good discussion on that channel: https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/C1EPYQKCL/p1630063132015700

Code of conduct is an example where it should be private, but should Slack be used for that?

Locked channels to allow keeping a group small and efficient prior to opening up to a larger group.

Should the community council have a recommendation, or set any restrictions on creating private slack channels? 

Should we setup community guidelines for what is a proper discussion on Slack?  Yes.

We should go back and clean up Slack after guidance is in place.

Are there GDPR issues that we need to be concerned about?

Default should be open channels.

ToDo:  We should do this is a future CC call.  Aim for the end of September.
