As a reminder: IRC is governed by Freenode. Channels can have their own rules, and there are widely varying systems of internal governance for Wikimedia IRC channels. I think it's important to note that WMF and the Wikimedia community are guests on Freenode, and I'm uncomfortable with the proposition to extend a WMF policy into IRC channels without explicit consent from the ops of those channels; it seems to me that the TCC would be a per-channel opt-in on IRC, not a WMF blanket standard.
I just wanted to note that this is a (draft) community policy, being approved by the community. The community has already approved a large fraction of it. It's not a (draft) WMF policy.
(It is subject to Legal requirements like some other community policies, but it seems this will only affect a small section.)
Thanks,
