+=== Creating a new room ===
+How you create a new room depends on your client ([https://element.io/help#rooms Element help]).
+On creation, you can make the decision of whether or not your room should be publicly discoverable or use end-to-end ("E2E") encryption; for public rooms intended to involve community participation, we recommend *not* enabling E2E, as that enables new participants to see scrollback. A public room is one where anyone can join without an invite. I.e. the "''only people who have been invited''" option has not been enabled.
+Any public room on the server should also invite the moderator account, and provide it the <code>admin</code> role. This will help you administer the room in compliance with the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/ CPG] and let site moderators support you in the process.
+Providing access to the moderator account is a two step process:
+# Issue the invitation: <code>/invite @moderator:mozilla.org</code>
+# After <code>@moderator:mozilla.org</code> joins the room, grant them the admin role.
+While the Moderator account with only "mod" privileges lets us protect channels against individual bad actors, it does not give that account the access needed to change channel-wide access control lists. You need to grant the Moderator "admin" privileges to be able to take advantage of the collective defense options Matrix provides.
