This is what I've got so far, in no particular order:
o - At least some if not all sysops have an alternate ID. These ID's are known to the sysop community but not advertised.
o - No attempts are made to proactively involve the community at large in metadiscussion.
o - All sysops can communicate with each other using a back channel consisting of an unrelated web page and encrypted, predefined signals.
Can you let me know how I'm doing so far? I'm just curious, if I'm close it may impress my girlfriend.

To be fair, this one is partially true, as many sysops do have alternate IDs. However, the degree to which these are known to the "sysop community" varies.
(This came up in the discussion of whether arbitrators should have to disclose alternate IDs, in which it was eventually decided that they had to disclose them to the other arbitrators, but not to the public).
As for the rest, all I can say is that the chromium plating is adjar on en:2 Bomis seven, please advise.
