Channel

From Organic Design wiki

In the nodal model, a channel is like a play-list or content-schedule which people in a group can collaborate on, but can also exhibit many other specific associations such as venue and equipment. This can be used as a means of organising lectures, presentations or private media channels.

Channels are really just specific instances of the Communications nodal organisation which is responsible for ensuring all resources are available in the right places before needed, another instance is storage and distribution.
