== ECP - Remove manual AN posting requirement ==
{{atop|status=Accepted|result=Consensus is that so as long as the bot report stays in place, an additional manual notification is not necessary.

I propose we remove the {{tq|Notification is to be posted in a subsection of AN for review, unless the topic is already authorized for 30/500 protection by the Arbitration Committee.}} requirement from ECP usage. The primary reason - it is not being done, and no one seems to care. There is a bot report that is transcluded to AN already ([[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report]]) and all of these protection actions are already clearly visible in the protection log.

*'''Support''' clarifying this issue by specifically noting the bot satisfies this requirement. This was never a requirement in the first place. Consensus was that notification must be posted at AN, not that notification must be posted ''manually''. Administrators would technically be on the hook if the bot malfunctioned, I suppose, but as far as I'm concerned the transclusion of the bot's table satisfies the existing requirement with no changes. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small><sub>13</sub></small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 17:22, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
*'''Reluctant support''': this is not what I envisaged when taking part in the RfC, but we might as well clean this up as a recognition of the facts on the ground. As long as the bot report remains in replace, I see no need at present for manual notification. [[User:BethNaught|BethNaught]] ([[User talk:BethNaught|talk]]) 17:46, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

=== Draft mass message to administrators ===
This is a ''very'' rough draft:
