PS: One enacted a policy in 2009 requiring certification to use certain tools. This policy had a number of faults that became apparent and which were addressed by ad hoc policies and/or selective enforcement. This vote proposal rewrites the old certification policy such that it matches current practice. | |||
=== Certification vs. Authorization === | |||
The term "certification" is a misnomer. It implies completion of a formal course of study and conveys a certain expectation of skill. Generally speaking, "certification" at PS:One only requires a basic understanding of the tool, and that the criteria requires demonstrating safe use, but not necessarily skilled use. The term "authorization" more accurately reflects the current practice at PS:One. | |||
=== Complex Tool Authorization === | |||
=== Removal of Authorization === | |||
=== Exceptions for Classes, Events, Setup, etc. === | |||
=== Exceptions for the Danger Committee === | |||
