The Infrastructure Team are exploring improvements to outer internal documentation platform and will be seeking input from the various Teams & Committees soon. In the meanwhile the review requirements on the runbook have been considerably relaxed to make contributions easier.

The Infrastructure Team are exploring a CRM or similar off-the-shelf tool could help manage interactions with competitor teams. Suggestions for approaches are welcome (please post in #infrastructure in slack).

The Competition Team have published an update to the rules which changes the sizes of token markers and of the Bronze and Silver tokens, such that the markers (and importantly their white borders) will actually fit on the tokens. Markers are now 80mm and these smaller tokens are 130mm.
