+Changing the guidelines
+=======================
+
+As the person tasked with implementing communications, the `community-manager`_
+should be alerted to proposed changes to the communications guidelines. Similarly,
+specific platform guidelines (e.g. twitter, instagram) should be reviewed by the
+person responsible for that platform, when different from the community manager.
+If there is no consensus, decisions about communications guidelines revert to
+the community manager.
