+Channel Requirements
+====================
+
+In general, discussion for OpenStack projects is preferred in #openstack-dev,
+but there are many reasons why a team would like to have their own channel.
+
+Access
+------
+
+Register the channel with ChanServ and give the infrastructure team account
+founder access to the channel with::
+
+  /msg chanserv access #channel add openstackinfra +AFRfiorstv
+
+This is good practice project-wide to make sure we keep channels under
+control and is a requirement if you want any of the project bots in
+your channel.
+
+Join #openstack-infra if you have any trouble with any of these commands.
