+# Responsibilities
+
+- Keep an eye on the IRC channel for your track and copy questions to
+ the relevant Etherpad so that hosts and speakers can easily find
+ them.
+- (optional) Answer conference-related questions
+- (optional) Announce talks and Q&A sessions.
+
+# Preparation
+
+If you'd like to announce talks and Q&A sessions, we can share a pad
+with announcements that you can copy and paste.
+
+If you would like to help set the channel topic or moderate the
+channel, please ask one of the main organizers (bandali, zaeph, or
+sachac) to add you as a channel operator.
+
+# Process
+
+## Copying questions
+
+Open `#emacsconf-gen` and/or `#emacsconf-dev` depending on your shift
+and your ability to keep track of multiple things at the same time.
+
+In another window, open the Etherpad for the relevant talk(s). You can
+find pad URLs on the talk page or in the talk announcement that is
+also posted on IRC.
+
+When you notice a question posted in IRC, reply to the person and say
+that you'll copy the question into the relevant pad. If you're using
+ERC or another programmable IRC client, you may want to make a command
+that simplifies that process.
+
+Copy the question to the bottom of the question list of the relevant
+pad and add the person's nick after it in parentheses. Please keep it
+as a top-level item instead of nesting it under something else. You
+can reword the question for clarity if needed.
+
+## Announcing talks and Q&A sessions
+
+At the indicated time, paste the announcement into the relevant
+channel. (This might be automated if we get around to it.)
