+Autocrypt press team
+====================
+
+If you have any press-related inquiries please send e-mail to
+the `press-team <mailto:press-team@autocrypt.org>`_, The press team
+strives to answer within two workdays on press-related inquiries,
+and often will get back faster (we have a knack for e-mail).
+
+This document describes our practises how we handle and account for
+press communications.

+
+Community interactions and responsibility
+-----------------------------------------
+
+If the press-team becomes aware of reporting, it will usually send
+a link of press articles to the community mailing list.  Anyone
+can ask how media reporting came about and how and who, if anyone, was
+involved from the press-team.  Note that often journalists do not ask
+back before they publish articles, or do not even contact a project
+before reporting.
+
+Press-team members remind each other when press-team internal
+discussions touch community matters that are better discussed
+through issues or the mailing list.
+
+
+If you want to be on the team
+-----------------------------
+
+If you want to help, ask the existing press team. Anyone on the
+existing press team may add you if you're an active member of the
+project. Press team members don't need to formally publish their nicks
+or names (though they can), but they are not considered a secret.
+Providing legal names is not required. Nicks are sufficient.
+
+Communication and reply practises
+----------------------------------
+
+When replying to an e-mail that was sent to the press-team, members
+of the press team reply from their personal e-mail address, so everyone can
+tell who is replying to and having the conversation. They will typically
+Cc the press-team at least on the initial reply so that the others know the
+communication is handled. If a conversation moved off to phone-calls,
+interviews, or private e-mail, then press members typically send a brief
+summary note to the other team members. Note that the press-team alias
+e-mail address is only used for inbound contacts, and shouldn't be used to
+send new messages that aren't a reply.
