In my opinion, might as well ban e-mail too.

No IM where I work. Not sure IM and email are the same in this regard--I imagine a big part of it is retention of records, and IM doesn't retain things in an acceptable way (like using rnc.org email addresses). Also, aren't the IM servers hosted by AOL, MSN, etc., rather than some secure whitehouse facility?
I suspect they'll just use text messaging or iphone IM anyway. I would.
