+The host team should provide company-public, archived, searchable, linkable communication channels that anyone in the company can subscribe to, as there are measurable benefits to supporting open, written communications channels.

 should be to align communication around topics, not around certain sets of

+A project should set up the following communication tooling:
 
-- The project should have its own issue tracker where structured communication, decision-making and progress tracking can happen transparently for all host team members but also for downstream users and contributors to follow.
-- The project should have one or more discussion channels that come with less rigid a structure. Typically, this will be mailing lists, online forums or even archived chat channels. Usually it is enough to start with just one channel for the project, if traffic increases too much it's helpful to split discussions about project usage from discussions about project development.
-- In addition, the project should have one private channel where sensitive communication can happen between [Trusted Committers](../trusted-committer.md) - e.g. adding further Trusted Committers to the host team. This channel should be used with great care such that communication defaults to open and is kept private only under very rare circumstances.
