Whilst I appreciate the circumstances, it suprises me that one person being
injured brings the whole process of requesting cloaks to a grinding halt. If
this problem is with Freenode then perhaps it should be asked, why do we use
Freenode rather than another network or indeed our own official unofficial
IRC network. It seems as if there is an additional layer of burecracy that
could be removed by doing this ourselves. I'm sure we could find both the
hardware and the people to manage such a network and it would of course
offer us more control on other issues. Is there any particular reason why
the Foundation doesn't want to get invovled with IRC?

I doubt there is much to prioritize if you are injured and unable to
work. Nor do I think there is much of a "higher level" in Freenode as
Head of Staff (although I immediately admit that I am not that into
their working structure). We can either complain now, or just wait,
both will generate probably the same result, except that the first
brings sad and ugly faces, and the second doesn't.

I am becoming concerned by this situation.
Someone, from the Office if
necessary, should contact Freenode at a high level and have them
prioritize this matter. Because IP's can be easily harvested when
people go into the IRC channels uncloaked, this is a user privacy
issue and needs to be resolved at the earliest possible time.
