</div>Now might be a good time to go register your nick (and your casual<br>
Friday nick as well) and see. OFTC has a similar policy to Freenode<br>
around releasing nicks that have not been used in years, and the<br>
operators in #oftc have been responsive to such requests. That way, if<br>
this is a problem, we might find out early.<br>

</div>Good point (though with Freenode's constant server rotation, I wonder<br>
how many folks actually have IP-based firewall rules [as opposed to just<br>
a port rule which should work for OFTC as well]).<br>
<br>
I was thinking about a month, for starters. That gives us plenty of<br>
time for notice, and early April puts us in the RC phase but not too<br>
close to the release. If we decide to proceed but feel this isn't<br>
enough time for this or other issues, we should probably push it to<br>
early May (the "off week" after the release).<br>
