It is not appropriate for a single person to unilaterally make and implement
policy for a lot of people in the form of an announcement like this.

I understand that you're concerned about security, and if you want to have a
discussion about progress on locking the door, it would make sense to engage in
the discussion I started in the access group, where I described the secret of
the door-opening button.

I mentioned that before we start locking the door, we need to at least make a
sign on the door for people who find themselves needing to be on the other side
of it, and who haven't seen the email you sent about it.  I mentioned that
someone set fire to the building because the door closed while their property
was on the other side of it (not the only reason we need a sign, but not a
lesson to ignore).

We need volunteers to discuss a phone tree (the sign must say phone numbers)
and make the sign, to install the sign, as well as work on finishing the RFID
access card project.

Please don't just jump the gun and send out policy announcements like this
without engaging in ongoing planning and discussion.

Also if an announcement is sent out once the sign is ready, it should say
"the door can be propped open using the metal hook and loop just below eye
level, don't put items in the walkway that block the path"
and step 3 should say PULL the door open, not "push open the door".
