[Noisebridge-discuss] Access control & Safety, both personal and general space.

[Shannon Lee]

Putting this together with Kelly's hottub-access idea from last night, we
could make authority chains...

You have access to the gate via your phone number; you can give others
access to the gate by registering their phone number, but it's tied to
yours; if they give others access, it's two levels down that particular
access branch.

This way, if we revoke my access, my little branch of the tree of trust
gets cut off, and people who gained access via me have to get re-authorized.

Ideally, I'd be able to get on several upstream people's access lists, that
way if one of them gets booted I still have a way in...
