I'm putting on my admin and IRC channel op hats, and trying to figure out how this proposal makes those jobs easier or different. I think there are reasonable ideas in this proposal, but the second level escalation path should follow inside of the appropriate local scopes.
I'm cautious about explicitly assigning a global ban role to WMF as a part of a community policy; having WMF police the community is a cause of concern after WMF's previous actions like Superprotect.
The draft policy does not assign WMF that right. They already have it, and global bans already apply to technical spaces.
I like the point someone made in this discussion about the distiction between legislating policy and making social change.
Social change and policy change go hand and hand. A healthy society is governed by both policy and social custom, which flow into each other. This is the policy part of it.
