GlobalNet Policy
Feb. XX, 1992
Version 1.00


PROLOGUE

This following document sets all polices that must be observed in
GlobalNet World Wide! All nodes in (GN) will follow the same policy.

The official language of (GN) is English. All other langauges may be
used as long as they contain a brief summary of the post in English.

(GN) will follow the Fidonet standards of communication. Since this
method is well known throughout the world.

This Policy applies to all message areas transmitted in GlobalNet.
Changes to this policy may be proposed by any member of this network
or recomendations to this policy may be made by any member in (GN).
Then all members of (GN) will then be able to vote for their proposal
and a simple majority vote will win. Only one person per node is
registered to vote or give proposals. A simple majority means more
than 50 percent of those registered to vote. A registered node is one
who is in the current (GN) nodelist.

(GN) was developed because many sysops are getting fed up with the
disarray of what goes on in other networks. Unlike other networks, where
there are a couple of policies for different zones, (GN) will have one
global policy that everyone will enjoy. Many people make those other
networks suit their needs and not the sysops or users needs. They
would not listen to other peoples plight for help. They just stick
to their policy and do not understand that humans can not be governed by
lines of text. Plus, in order for someone to change the policy, it
would have to break everyones back and hence would be impossible.
That's why (GN) was started. This network is made up of sysops who
understand the need for FREE communication and that this free medium
can be someones way of life in communicating to the rest of the world.
Every member of (GN) has a voice and can change things. This network is
for you to enjoy and for you not to put up with little kids BS! If a
member of this network wants something then we will all chip in and help
that person, includeing the (GC),(CC),(AC) and (DC). This network is made
up of friends who enjoy the freedom of communication speech.

The offical echo area GN_PROPOSAL will be made avail. to all members
for them to suggest or change proposals. This area will also be where
the voting will be done.

GlobalNet will consist of the following branches of coordinators:

(GC) Global Coordinator is Howard Sucher.
The (GC) really has no play in GlobalNet execpt to
make sure that everything is running according to
everyones likeing. The (GC) is like the president of
all the (*C)'s. However the (GC) is a good guy.
The (GC) is the place to goto if the other (*C)'s are
not helpful in your plight for help. The (GC) will
usually rule in your favor if it is an understandable
reason why you're right. The (GC) is everyones friend
and if you just want to discuss a matter with him, he
is the person to do it with, if you don't want your
(*C) to know. The (GC) is a life term, unless the (GC)
wishes to step down in which case, there will be an
election by all nodes in GlobalNet. The other way for
the (GC) to step down is, if he is doing a terrible job
(however his job is only to make sure everyone is happy)
a majority of the vote can impeach him.

(CC) Continental Coordinator is selected by members of (GN)
and his/her term of office is one year, unless a change
in this policy is made by a majority of nodes.

(AC) Area Coordinator is selected by members of (GN) and
his/her term of office is one year, unless a change in
this policy is made by a majority of nodes.

(DC) District Coordinator is selected by members of (GN)
and his/her term of office is one year, unless a change
in this policy is made by a majority of nodes.

The idea of echomail is to share many different message area subjects
between various registered nodes in GlobalNet (GN). Echomail will be
offered by the (CC) or Country Coordinator and can be considered to be
the backbone sites of (GN). Each Country will have a (CC) who is in charge
of making echo mail areas avail. to all (AC) Area Coordinators. An (AC)
is in charge of his state and will be the mailhub for that state. In
each state there will be several (DC) District Coordinators. There may
be more than one (DC) in an state and this number will depend on the
amount of nodes in the district area. It is also possible for the (CC)
to be a (DC).

3.0 Echo Conference Policies

Echo Conferences will have only a few basic rules for members and
users to follow. These are the following rules:
1) Real names will be used in all Echo Mail areas.
2) There will be no moderator to bust your chops!
3) Echomail areas will be avail. to all members of (GN).
4) There will be no bad language used in an echo area.
5) Messages may be posted in another language than English,
However you must at least post a brief summary of what the
post says in English.
6) Any member may start up an echo area and make it avail. to
the (CC).
7) If any member or user can not adhere to these 7 rules, then
they will be dealt with by their (DC), if the (DC) can not
handle it then it will move up the chain.
