Guest Building Access

Gary: /* If You Are A Member */

What follows are some guidelines for what you should do when a guest visits Pumping Station: One. They reflect the opinions of a few members and don't necessarily represent the opinions of the entire organization. That being said, we think they're pretty good guidelines to start from.

== If You Are A Guest ==

If you will be attending PS:One as the attendee of an event or as the guest of a member, please understand that you won't be admitted into the building until your host is present unless the member who randomly answers the door agrees to host you until then, and chooses to be generous with their time. Understand this member may be busy and unable to accommodate your waiting time in the facility. Appropriately, you may be asked to return or wait outside until your host arrives. There is no reception area or lobby for waiting. '''Please coordinate with your host to avoid inconveniences.'''

Please be sure to sign and submit a waiver form the first time you visit PS:One.

The policy on minors is available '''[[Policy on Minors|here]]'''.

Open house hours are posted at http://pumpingstationone.org/events.

== If You Are A Member ==

PS:One is not open access to the general public. Non-members may attend as the guest of a member who is present, or if they are attending an event open to the public, and are always welcome to attend an Open House. Members and event hosts are responsible for their guests to a reasonable degree.

Non-members have no right to loiter unaccompanied in the space and it's not wise to allow strangers to wander around. Members should use their discretion and not admit non-members who say they have business in the space when this isn't clear. If someone claims they are meeting a member, and that person isn't in the building, then it is appropriate that they not be admitted, and may be told to return when that member arrives or their event starts. Open house hours are posted on the door and at http://pumpingstationone.org/events.

Do NOT provide a door code to unverified members, even if they ask nicely.

Please help keep our space safe and secure. This is not the responsibility of any one of us, but of ALL of us.

While none of us wants to play security guard and no member wants to go through a security inquisition, a few routine questions should not offend anyone, as their purpose is legitimate.

=== Suggested procedure ===
Members should use their discretion in welcoming and admitting non-members and strangers without a door security access code.

'''A cordial greeting is an opportunity to make visitors feel welcome and meet other members as well.'''

Here are suggestions:
:"Are you a member?"
:*If not: "Are you meeting a member or here for an event? Who/What/Where/When?"
:*If meeting a member, ensure they connect with their party, or ask that they return when their member is present.
:*If attending event, direct them to the location of event. If event is not occurring, look up the correct time, inform guest, and ask that they return.
:*If they say they're just checking the space out because they've been curious or read about us on the internet or whatever, direct them to the Open House hours on the door or at http://pumpingstationone.org/events.

:You may also elect, at your discretion:
:*to escort the guest to their member, or help them locate their member in the building
:*to have them sign and submit the waiver form
:*to allow them to wait with you in the area where you are working until their member shows up (effectively making them your temporary guest)
:*to give a tour
:*to encourage them to call their member
:*to buy them a beer (just kidding, they should buy you one)

:If they say they're a member who forgot/lost their door code:
:*You may choose to offer to look them up and re-send it using the tools on our members site. There is the possibility of an expired paypal subscription. Any member can log into the members site (at https://members.pumpingstationone.org) for a mostly-current list of members. When in doubt any member should feel free to check that list - anyone who has a subscription and has had their ID checked should be on there.
:*Alternatively, direct them to a board member.

:If you're a member following someone else into the building (not using your code):
:*Introduce yourself!

== If You Are A Guest ==

If you will be attending PS:One as the attendee of an event or as the guest of a member, please understand that you may not be admitted into the building until you're host is present or at the sole discretion of a member who randomly answers the door and chooses to be generous with their time.

There is no reception area or lobby for waiting. '''Please coordinate with your host to avoid inconveniences.'''

Guest Building Access

Gary: /* If You Are A Guest */

== If You Are A Guest ==

If you will be attending PS:One as the attendee of an event or as the guest of a member, please understand that you may not be admitted into the building until you're host is present or at the sole discretion of a member who randomly answers the door and chooses to be generous with their time. Understand this member may be busy and unable to accommodate your waiting time in the facility. Appropriately, you may be asked to return or wait outside until your host arrives. There is no reception area or lobby for waiting. '''Please coordinate with your host to avoid inconveniences.'''

Please be sure to sign and submit a waiver form the first time you visit PS:One.

The policy on minors is available '''[[Policy on Minors|here]]'''.

Open house hours are posted at http://pumpingstationone.org/events.

== If You Are A Member ==

PS:One is not open to the general public. Non-members may attend as the guest of a member who is present, or if they are attending an event open to the public. Members and event hosts are responsible for their guests to a reasonable degree.

Non-members have no right to loiter unaccompanied in the space and it's not wise to allow strangers to wander around. Members should use their discretion and not admit non-members who say they have business in the space when this isn't clear. If someone claims they are meeting a member, and that person isn't in the building, then it is appropriate that they not be admitted, and may be told to return when that member arrives or their event starts. Open house hours are posted on the door and at http://pumpingstationone.org/events.

Do NOT provide a door code to unverified members, even if they ask nicely.

While none of us wants to play security guard and no member wants to go through a security inquisition, a few routine questions should not offend anyone, as their purpose is legitimate. Done properly, it is really an opportunity to interact and welcome new people and meet other members as well.

Please help keep our space safe and secure. This is not the responsibility of any one of us, but of ALL of us.

=== Suggested procedure ===
Members should use their discretion in welcoming and admitting non-members and strangers without a door security access code.

'''A cordial greeting is an opportunity to make visitors feel welcome and meet other members as well.'''

Here are suggestions:
:"Are you a member?"
:*If not: "Are you meeting a member or here for an event? Who/What/Where/When?"
:*If meeting a member, ensure they connect with their party, or ask that they return when their member is present.

:*If they say they're just checking the space out because they've been curious or read about us on the internet or whatever, direct them to the Open House hours on the door or at http://pumpingstationone.org/events.

Guest Building Access

2016-03-22T16:52:14Z

Gary: /* If You Are A Guest */

== If You Are A Guest ==

If you will be attending PS:One as the attendee of an event or as the guest of a member, please understand that you may not be admitted into the building until you're host is present or at the sole discretion of a member who randomly answers the door and chooses to be generous with their time. Appropriately, you may be asked to return or wait outside until your host arrives. There is no reception area or lobby for waiting. Please coordinate with your host to avoid inconveniences. Open house hours are posted at http:pumpingstationone.org/events.

Please be sure to sign and submit a waiver form the first time you visit PS:One.

The policy on minors is available '''[[Policy on Minors|here]]'''.

== If You Are A Member ==

PS:One is not open to the general public. Non-members may attend as the guest of a member who is present, or if they are attending an event open to the public. Members and event hosts are responsible for their guests to a reasonable degree.

Non-members have no right to loiter unaccompanied in the space and it's not wise to allow strangers to wander around. Members should use their discretion and not admit non-members who say they have business in the space when this isn't clear. If someone claims they are meeting a member, and that person isn't in the building, then it is appropriate that they not be admitted, and may be told to return when that member arrives or their event starts. Open house hours are posted on the door and at http:pumpingstationone.org/events.

Do NOT provide a door code to unverified members, even if they ask nicely.

While none of us wants to play security guard and no member wants to go through a security inquisition, a few routine questions should not offend anyone, as their purpose is legitimate. Done properly, it is really an opportunity to interact and welcome new people and meet other members as well.

Please help keep our space safe and secure. This is not the responsibility of any one of us, but of ALL of us.

=== Suggested procedure ===
Members should use their discretion in welcoming and admitting non-members and strangers without a door security access code.

'''A cordial greeting is an opportunity to make visitors feel welcome and meet other members as well.'''

Here are suggestions:
:"Are you a member?"
:*If not: "Are you meeting a member or here for an event? Who/What/Where/When?"
:*If meeting a member, ensure they connect with their party, or ask that they return when their member is present.
:*If attending event, direct them to the location of event. If event is not occurring, look up the correct time, inform guest, and ask that they return.
:*If they say they're just checking the space out because they've been curious or read about us on the internet or whatever, direct them to the Open House hours on the door.

:You may also elect, at your discretion:
:*to escort the guest to their member, or help them locate their member in the building
:*to have them sign and submit the waiver form
:*to allow them to wait with you in the area where you are working until their member shows up (effectively making them your temporary guest)
:*to give a tour
:*to encourage them to call their member
:*to buy them a beer (just kidding, they should buy you one)

While none of us wants to play security guard and no member wants to go through a security inquisition, a few routine questions should not offend anyone, as their purpose is legitimate. Done properly, it is really an opportunity to interact and welcome new people and meet other members as well.

=== Suggested procedure ===
Members should use their discretion in welcoming and admitting non-members and strangers without a door security access code.

'''A cordial greeting is an opportunity to make visitors feel welcome and meet other members as well.'''

Here are suggestions:
:"Are you a member?"
:*If not: "Are you meeting a member or here for an event? Who/Where/When?"
:*If meeting a member, ensure they connect with their party, or ask that they return when their member is present.
:*If attending event, direct them to the location of event. If event is not occurring, look up the correct time, inform guest, and ask that they return.
:*If they say they're just checking the space out because they've been curious or read about us on the internet or whatever, direct them to the Open House hours on the door.

:You may also elect, at your discretion:
:*to escort the guest to their member, or help them locate their member in the building
:*to have them sign and submit the waiver form
:*to allow them to wait with you in the area where you are working until their member shows up (effectively making them your temporary guest)
:*to give a tour
:*to encourage them to call their member
:*to buy them a beer (just kidding, they should buy you one)
:*If they say they're a member and forgot/lost the door code, you may choose to offer to look them up and re-send it using the tools on our members site. There is the possibility of an expired paypal subscription. Any member can log into the members site (at https://members.pumpingstationone.org) for a mostly-current list of members. When in doubt any member should feel free to check that list - anyone who has a subscription and has had their ID checked should be on there.

Please help keep our space safe and secure. This is not the responsibility of any one of us, but of ALL of us. Do NOT provide a door code to unverified members, even if they ask nicely.

Gary: /* Suggested procedure */

== If You Are A Guest ==

If you will be attending PS:One as the attendee of an event or as the guest of a member, please understand that you may not be admitted into the building until you're host is present or at the sole discretion of a member who randomly answers the door and chooses to be generous with their time. Appropriately, you may be asked to wait outside until your host arrives. There is no reception area or lobby for waiting. Please coordinate with your host to avoid inconveniences.

Please be sure to sign and submit a waiver form the first time you visit PS:One.

The policy on minors is available '''[[Policy on Minors|here]]'''.

== If You Are A Member ==

PS:One is not open to the general public. Non-members may attend as the guest of a member who is present, or if they are attending an event open to the public. Members and event hosts are responsible for their guests to a reasonable degree.

Non-members have no right to loiter unaccompanied in the space and it's not wise to allow strangers to wander around.

Members should not admit non-members who say they have business in the space when this isn't clear.

Open house hours are posted on the door.

**If meeting a member, ensure they connect with their party.
**If attending event, direct them to the location of event. If event is not occurring, look up the correct time and inform guest.

might offer to give a tour or offer to let them hang out with me (if I'm working in the lounge or electronics lab) until their friend shows up.

If it's someone you don't know, encourage them to call their friend, and extend the same offer to let them hang out with me if I'm working in the lounge or electronics lab. I've definitely told people 'sorry, you'll have to wait outside for your friend' in the past - no one wants to be the gatekeeper, but you are absolutely not obligated to let anyone into the building who isn't a member or in the company of a member.

Guest Building Access

Gary: /* If You Are A Guest */

== If You Are A Guest ==

If you will be attending PS:One as the attendee of an event or as the guest of a member, please understand that you may not be admitted into the building until you're host is present or at the sole discretion of a member who answers the door and chooses to be generous with their time. Appropriately, you may be asked to wait outside until your host arrives. There is no reception area or lobby for waiting. Please coordinate with your host to avoid inconveniences.

Please be sure to sign and submit a waiver form the first time you visit PS:One.

The policy on minors is available [[Policy on Minors|here]].

== If You Are A Member ==

PS:One is not open to the general public. Non-members may attend as the guest of a member who is present, or if they are attending an event open to the public.

Non-members have no right to loiter unaccompanied in the space and it's not wise to let strangers wander around. Members should not admit non-members who say they have business in the space when this isn't clear. If someone claims they are meeting a member, and that person isn't in the building, then they should not be admitted, and should be told they may come back after that member arrives. Open house hours are posted on the door.

PS:One is not by default open to the general public. Non-members can be there if they are the guest of a member who is present, or if they are attending an event open to the public. That's it. Non-members have no right to loiter unaccompanied in the space. Members should not admit non-members who say they have business in the space when this isn't clear. If someone claims they are meeting a member, and that person isn't in the building, then they should not be admitted, and should be told they may come back after that member arrives.

I answer the door frequently while I'm at PS:One.

My strategy is as follows:

* Open door, wait for visitor to say something.
** If they say they're here for an event, direct them to the location of said event (if said event is not occurring, look up the correct time and tell them that, offer them a tour)
** If they say they're a member and forgot/lost the door code, I'll offer to look them up and re-send it using the tools on our members site. I have found two or three people in the last year or two who had expired paypal subscriptions (that they claimed to be unaware of - this is pretty plausible given the way our billing currently works) this way. Any member can log into the members site for a mostly-current list of members - when in doubt any member should feel free to check that list (at https://members.pumpingstationone.org) - anyone who's got a subscription and has had their ID checked should be on there.
** If they say they're just checking the space out because they've been curious or read about us on the internet or whatever, I usually give them a tour (I've given many dozens of tours that started this way).
** If they say they're meeting someone:
*** If it's someone I know, there's an okay chance that I know whether they're in the building or not. If they're not, I might offer to give a tour or offer to let them hang out with me (if I'm working in the lounge or electronics lab) until their friend shows up.
*** If it's someone I don't know, I'll encourage them to call their friend, and extend the same offer to let them hang out with me if I'm working in the lounge or electronics lab. I've definitely told people 'sorry, you'll have to wait outside for your friend' in the past - no one wants to be the gatekeeper, but you are absolutely not obligated to let anyone into the building who isn't a member or in the company of a member.

No one wants to play security guard, but it's wise not to let strangers wander around for many reasons. And no member wants to go through a security inquisition, but a few suggested routine questions should not offend anyone, as the purpose is legitimate:
Are you a member?
If not: "Are you meeting a member or here for an event? Where/when?"
The next part is trickier: trusting guests with fuzzy answers, or making sure the guest has connected with their member before leaving them unescorted?
