Open Stack

Hi,

I'm involved with a nascent open source effort that is using a clone of the Open Stack infrastructure.

I've read and played with the Open Stack IRC enough that I think I understand how end users will access IRC. 

My question concerns IRC channels. Refer to https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/IRC. That page says, "If you want to start a new IRC channel, please consult with the InfrastructureTeam in #openstack-infra or at openstack-infra at lists.openstack.org to ensure it gets registered appropriately."

So, what exactly do the infrastructure folks do when creating an IRC channel?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dave
