Following up a week later with progress check-in.

On point 1. I talked to Emerge and they are happy to come give us a
training about abuse 101.

On point 2. The Exec committee and Paula are working on such a policy.
We're also looking at "community codes of conduct" from various other
organizations like Ubuntu, Mozilla, and Python.

On points 3 through 5. I've had a conversation with Wikimedia who are
wrestling with the problem of harassment between editors. Jointly, we're
going to talk to CyberCivilRights soon. Further, I've started
conversations with the Ada Initiative and CiviliNation. The latter two
orgs are focused on online harassment and abuse.  And Katie has a
friend/neighbor who is interested in helping out as well.

All of these orgs are skeptical of Tor, either because of their
experience with abusers behind Tor, or direct experience with Tor
community members. However, they're willing to continue talking in the
early January.

If conversations move beyond interest to actually trying to do
something, we should create a small committee of 3 people and continue
discussions.
