RE: [chairs] Problems with pranksters on TC calls

Indeed the accents are respectable Brit ones pretending to be interested.

Along with noisy mannerisms ("I want my vote!"), the patterns are 
similar to the interruptions had by the DITA TC, except the names given 
were "Bruce Wayne" (last name had to be prompted) with a British accent 
and a more evasive "Marco" and one that I did not record.  I do not 
believe they would use real names. We have since removed passcodes from 
any public documents and sent a new passcode to members to use in 
confidence.
