I count six votes in favour of option C, and three in favour of option
B.

At this point I feel it would be best to spend a week discussing which
network we shall move to, although it seems a lot of people like OFTC
for this.

== OFTC ==

Pros:
 - Free and open source software network.
 - More transparent staff election process.
 - Network ombudsman.
 - Supports SSL and IPv6.
Cons:
 - Not under our control.

== Blitzed ==

Cons:
 - Run primarily by a single person at this point.
 - Not under our control.
 - Doesn't support SSL.

== "DFEY IRC" ==

Pros:
 - Completely under our control.
 - Fun.
Cons:
 - Less resilient to server failiures as it is unlikely we could have >1
   server for now.
 - Requires people to administer it.
 - Another network for people to join.

Regards,
Robert
