It was abolished as part as a previous resolution by Ian.

I find the assumption that guests stating their names being the cause of
some IRC meeting inefficiency being ludicrous at best and given the
small number of guests attending meeting, being friendly to them cannot
harm the organization.

Putting the blame on others can relieve some stress but won't solve the
real problems of SPI, I am afraid.

Cheers,
