As per the discussion in #263, I propose that the TSC transfer moderation responsibilities to CommComm. By moving moderation to CommComm, along with creating an admin team, this frees up the TSC to focus on more technical matters, and hopefully we'll get more engagement in the TSC as a result.
Moderation responsibilities are specified in the TSC charter, so changing this will mean a charter change and board approval. CommComm's charter will also need to be amended.
To be clear, I am not proposing we change anything about how moderation works. The only difference will be who "owns" moderation. Currently, the TSC is not actively involved in moderation and this ownership is mostly on paper. The only ways the TSC has been involved is in approving changes to the CoC and moderation guidelines, which are rare, and this would continue to be the case with CommComm for the foreseeable future.
This move is really an administrative change as part of the larger effort to refocus the TSC on more technical issues, and possibly to remerge the TSC and CTC.
