That is correct. This channel will be like any other channel or
resource provided by EF. You need an EF account to participate.

A couple of remarks:
* The chat service will have SSO. This is one of the strength of
matrix vs other chat services (most of them only offer this feature
under paid packages).
* I am already testing the chat instance. I can participate in our
current libera.chat channel #oniroproject from the EF matrix testing
server.

All communications need to be covered by the EF legal and IP
frameworks so people affiliated to different organizations are covered
by it and they can share knowledge/information using their corporate
accounts among them and with non-affiliated individuals.

If there is a strong demand to communicate with external people, the
solution could be to keep using the existing channel at libera.chat,
in addition to the ones proposed. Participants will need to assume the
legal/IP risks associated with such practice. My recommendation is to
join EF as an individual in order to actively participate.

Best Regards

Agustin
