Comment:

 > Rather than going through the process to amend the Community Council
 Policy, would it be possible to create an email alias to point tor-
 community-council 'at' torproject.org to tor-community-council 'at'
 lists.torproject.org?

 Makes sense, and will do shortly.

 > Also, does anyone know if there would there be any implications when
 encrypting messages to this list given that the email alias does not match
 the uids on the gpg key?

 Yes, there are. Most email clients will not find the right key and will
 refuse to send an encrypted mail.

 There are a few solutions for this:

  1. client-side solutions: some clients will allow you to pick an
 arbitrary key for encryption (not great, requires user knowledge)
  2. "server-side" solutions: the other UID could just be added to the key

 > Also, not sure if I've created this under the correct component, so
 please feel free to move to the correct one.

 Since this is an encrypted list, i think schleuder might be a better
 place, especially for the UID change. But this is a good start. :)
