+## Lifecycle of a new rumour
 
 A new rumour has started online.  You’ve seen it yourself, someone has sent you an example of it, you’ve seen another group tracking it - there are a bunch of ways to spot something new happening.  Now what? 
 
 Tell people:
-* Put a message in #repository, telling people about this new rumour.  <Use the words [NEW RUMOR] so it’s easy to find later?> 
+* Put a message in #repository, telling people about this new rumour.  _Use the words [NEW RUMOR] so it’s easy to find later?_
 
-Decide whether to start a response:
+## Decide whether to start a response:
 * Do a quick check that it’s a rumour.  One sighting doesn’t make an incident.  15 copies of the same message on Twitter, or 3 friends sending you the same strange DM, and you’re probably onto something. 
 * Then, find someone to be responsible for this.  It’s probably going to be you, but if you don’t have the time to set up a response, ping the #general slack channel and ask for a volunteer.  All instructions below here are for whoever takes on this responsibility.
 
-Start a slack channel for the rumor:
+## Start a slack channel for the rumor:
 * Name it rumor-xxx where xxx is a short description of the rumor, like gaspumps-infected or stafford-act.   Make the first message in the channel a description of the rumor
 * Put a message into #general and #repository, telling people there’s a new rumor channel and asking them to look for data on it

 * Find 2 people to work with you as leads.  Nobody leads a full-on deployment on their own, and everyone has to sleep, or step away, or handle a screaming child/cat/partner/self sometimes.  Also Covid - you might get sick too, and should always have a good succession plan: all links and passwords to critical stuff should be with 3 people etc. 
 * Create a google account, and start a googledrive with it.  Add two folders: one for admins, one for the team.  If you think you’re going to have multiple subteams, add a folder for the team captains.  You’re not doing this to enforce hierarchy: you’re doing this to limit the number of people who have to see each piece of PII or sensitive material (this is disinformation work - work as though your team will get breached).

The project is funded by the Government of Canada via the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The aim of this project is two-fold: (1) put a spotlight on COVID-19 related misinformation and (2) to provide Canadians with timely and actionable information that we all can use to protect ourselves and our communities. Our team of computational social scientists, communications professionals and developers are hard at work curating trusted information about COVID-19 and developing additional real-time information visualization dashboards to keep track of false claims related to COVID-19 from around the web.”

 We all come from different disciplines: words like "campaign" have different meanings to a military, an adtech or a tech person (and if you're all three, you get to fight about definitely with yourself).  There are also *committees* dedicated to defining what words like "disinformation" and "misinformation" mean, and the differences between them.

One of the reasons the MisinfoSec crowd started talking about Cognitive Security (including rebranding as the CogSecCollab) in 2020 is a belief that, in order to deal with things like disinformation, we need to focus on the thing we’re protecting.  That means working on reducing disinformation, but also on boosting good information when we see it.
