So, you are suggesting an 'opt in' rather than 'opt out' ? 

ie, if we hear nothing we shouldn't conflict, but if we specifically
hear from them 'ok, we don't mind, it doesn't cause us any issues' we
should only then allow conflicts from that channel/product?

One other thing that comes in here... there's a bunch of fasttrack and
z-stream channels. Should any policy we draft address them as well?
