Hi Stephen,

the process (per discussion between Chase and legal afaik) says that we need a C-level to sign off on this.
Do you know of any C-levels we can assign this to? I feel it might not scale very good to ask a c-level for these every single time.
How does legal feel about lowering that possibly to the director level? Would a sign-off by Luis Villa be ok?

Best,
Daniel

The relevant quote is Sign off by a C level Wikimedia Foundation executive. WMF employees will arrange this as a last sign-off when all other criteria has been met. on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_NDA

That seems asking a lot to me and the problem for us would be that, afaict, c-levels don't have Phabricator accounts. But maybe i'm wrong here.

When that requirement was written was easy to find a C-level in WMF Engineering. Today...

I think we can interpret that as "top management of WMF Engineering and Technology". Today that is Terry, Toby, Wes, Trevor, Katie, and maybe RobLa.

Quim, thanks for that comment. That helped.


Hi Toby,

how do you feel about approving this?

Platonides is a loooong time volunteer and contributor to dozens of projects. He already signed L2.

C-level can approve by email if they do not have a phabricator account.

Non C-level top management otherwise need a written delegation from C-level to approve. Let's discuss with Manprit if we need to amend the process. Thanks!

Whatever we do here, please let it not involve private emails that don't appear on the ticket or the whole ticket process thing is kind of just overhead.

Dzahn added a subscriber: Tnegrin.

@TGilbey-WMF Thanks for the approval!

@Platonides I added you to the group just now.

Where's the definition of C-Level?

My bad, I misread Terry's nick as Toby's. :) move along....

Where's the definition of C-Level?

"titles beginning with "chief" and are therefore usually called "C-level" "
