I apologize if I seemed rude or malicious in any way. The radio silence did have me bit concerned.
Your response got me thinking that maybe I might be confused on what your title actually means and what you do.
Can you explain what the Director of the Community postion entails? What your responsibilities are? What you do from day to day?
Thank you for the apology. I appreciate it. At this point, things are as they are and I'd just like to find a way forward.
DoC probably isn't the best title that could have been given, though it does touch on the varied tasks of the position. My position is an amalgamation of several sets of tasks that got pulled together. Some are operations tasks, like CS oversight or convention organization, that used to belong to the Operations Manager/COO. Some are Org Play tasks that don't fall under the Org Play Coordinator or the Digital Adventures teams (which mostly comes down to institutional memory of the programs, as I've been involved with them in some way since 2010, and strategy). Another group involves team coordination/process development/project management tasks involving members of different internal teams. The last big category is analysis & strategy-related tasks. So lots of items that relate to different communities, but not as many boots-on-ground involvements as may be anticipated given the title.
For my part, I see myself as a facilitator, getting groups and teams the tools they need to be effective, then getting out of their way. Right now, the community needs answers. I'm trying to keep communication flowing so that the parties that can give answers have the means to do so.
Thank you Tonya for your responses. I do greatly appreciate the time and effort you have made to gather and communicate your thoughts.
Can you give examples of how you have demonstrated effective facilitation, that has empowered and enabled the teams?
There have been reports of some obstruction and delay in the past, can you give us your ideas on how you plan to mitigate this in the future?
Thank you for your further efforts to explore, cooperate, and report on this fantastic game all the great people at Paizo have put together.
