Decentralization of Notion Permissions Proposal

@samanthaj

I highlighted this section because this feels like it would fit under either 1. guild coordinator roles or 2. guild governance roles. I think rather than creating new guild roles, there could be a short training of some form for guild leaders so they can learn the best way to secure notion pages. I don’t foresee it requiring a TON of work, which is why I think it could be built into existing roles, but I’ve been wrong about workloads before!

I’m someone who believes in stacking roles (i.e. a Guild Coordinator could additionally have this role) for the purposes of clearly defining responsibility, but we spec’d it as a new role to allow each guild to do it their own way.

There’s also no central definition of a what a Guild Coordinator is (there should be), so we didn’t want to stall the proposal to have to figure that out.

resources is a function of time and money.

I don’t quite agree with this statement, our organizational focus is also a resource we have to marshal, and the Ops Guild isn’t in the business of building new products.

If you feel strongly about this, I do encourage you to make it happen, and I’d certainly be an early user! In the meantime, I’ll have to use the products that are available to me.

I’m confused by this part. Is this a recommendation for Guilds to ask this much more in a budget proposal? Or is the treasury automatically handing out this much money to pay for someone to take on this role?

I touched on it here: Decentralization of Notion Permissions Proposal - #12 by links

TL;DR - would prefer it be part of the seasonal guild budget, but that may not be possible this season due to time constraints.

SUCCESS METRICS OR KPIS

• Reduction in # of people with top-level Notion access
• # of distinct “permission compartments”, which reduces risks of future incursions

To close the loop on this

• reduced # of people with top-level Notion access from 106 → 12
• reduced # members from 30 → 12
• increased “permission compartments” from 1 → 75 (13 guilds, 60 projects, grants, gse)

This project is now closed and Notion Administration under Ops will take over ongoing maintenance.

Thanks to everyone for your patience!
