More specific guidance around self-documentation

@heyitsmerebecca REF #3

“Within this utility, all members self-document all existing privileges and responsibilities currently held within the organization attempting to be as truthful and comprehensive as possible. At this point members should refrain from documenting what they would like their privileges and responsibilities to be but instead only focus on what privileges and responsibilities they truthfully already hold within the organization.”

There should be a strong form of check on any type of self reporting. I see this is in

“All organization members should now review and add suggestions to all other members self-documented privleges and responsibilities as well as suggested directives, agreements, and activities, for truthfulness as to closeness to approximation of the existing structure - again not in attempt to hone in on what is most ideal, but only to attempt to approximate what the existing structures/hierarchies truthfully are.”

if the voting privileges are dependent on a member’s privileges and/or responsibilities etc there must be a very formal review of all members’ self reported information.

One's ability to vote or weight for voting power in many contexts would need to be independant of the members privileges/responsibilities - As the problem of a "self-legitimizing dictatorship" has the possibility of arising.

This issue raised the need of further clarification of the quoted text, It was originally written in the context of the small social organizations (although never specified which is the error). Within a small enough social organization, I assumed that there would be a strong enough social cohesion for people to simply know when something was false, people could informally check each others self-documentation ad-hoc and correct each other and/or add a layer of real accountability for when this was abused.

• I now see that this clearly doesn't scale and a more thorough mechanism should be specified here. Thanks!
