             CHARTER SpbZxNet



                      (C) Alexei Mikhailov


  So wait ... I have the opportunity to present to you the 
first, and only the finished version of the Charter of the 
network. For shoulders of the authors (and the fact that the 
development of the Charter involves a large number of people 
who think everything is clear) two half months of work, 
permanent settlement and battles, and all for the benefit of 
the network, all for the benefit of all users SpbZxNet. 


  Charter dalsya easy, and it remained
points of contention, and even before the end of unexamined 
places, many of the items - a compromise between two extremes, 
between the two completely opposing views. But

all the most difficult past. At the expense of perfection or 
imperfection of the Charter will the only time I can only 
guarantee which is clearly obsolete items will be repaired as 
soon as the need for their raison d'être - the Charter provides 
for the rapid amend it. However, it is not

means that changes will be introduced,
when someone in the head vzbredet - only if
This is a real need.


  Charter is required to perform all
Network members SpbZxNet and comes into effect
May 20, 1997.


  Some of the applications of the Charter, we have
published in ZxNews, and some publish in blizhaishih rooms. 
After the release of ZN32, to all nodes in the network will be 
sent to the file "Network.Z" with the Charter and all 
applications. Recommend sysop "issue" of his entire new users, 
callers to the station. Continuing in-line "network" will be on 
the Tornado station, good place for me a lot ... 



                   Charter Network SpbZxNet v2.18.



                           1. Review.



  This document establishes policy for all members of the 
organization SpbZxNet. Network SpbZxNet defined by the list of 
nodes and hubs, published weekly by the Coordinator network. 


  The creation of this document have been partly used Statutes
ZX-Net and FidoNet.


                    2. Determination SpbZxNet.



  SpbZxNet - this e-mail system based on computer
ZX-Spectrum computers or other platforms that provide this 
system. All of its members and the operators are working 
voluntarily, although it is possible the introduction of 
specific sysop paying job or additional levels of access to 
their station. 


                        2.1 Organization.



  Members (users) SpbZxNet are those persons having personal 
addresses on the network. Entering the network, or in other 
words, getting it's network address, the user indicates that he 
agrees comply with all requirements of the Charter and its 
annexes. 


  GATE - Gateway. Station (Station system) network, carrying out
translation and transmittal of information between different 
computer systems and networks. 


  HUB - The central node connected to it by node and the point.


  C-HUB - The central hub - a hub that is linked against the 
internal Echo Conference.



  NODE - A node. The basic unit of the network. Station E-mail
connected to it with points and the user.


                2.1.1 Station e-mail.

                -------------------------------

  For any network user establishes the right to open your
site, their e-mail station. To do this he must obtain 
node-address on one of the hubs SpbZxNet. 


                       2.1.2 Station BBS.

                       -----------------

  Any user can open his station BBS.


  To open the station BBS does not necessarily receive the 
node-address. Station BBS, installed at Point Network SpbZxNet, 
called independent station, and its operator - independent 
system operator. 


  Independent sysop is not a sysop network SpbZxNet, he takes 
part in it on the Rights of the usual Point. 


  Station BBS can also be installed on any node, gate, central 
sites and a central hub network SpbZxNet. Node-or Hub-address 
does not necessarily mean the presence of the station BBS - is 
their cause, sisopov how they will forward mail to their the 
point. 


                      2.2 The Council SpbZxNet.



  Council SpbZxNet called collegial body that is addressing 
critical issues related to device organization and development 
of the network. 


   The Council consists of a network of its founders:


   812/00.00 Aleksandr Majorov

   812/01.00 Alex Mikhailov

   812/02.00 Andrey Golubev

   812/03.00 Paul Falcon

   812/04.00 Roman Moiseev

   812/10.00 Boris Sokol


  Council SpbZxNet called as necessary by the Coordinator
network, or a majority of those who it is. Also, voting can 
pass through e-mail. 


  If someone leaves the Council at a general meeting sisopov an 
election of a man who will take the place of the past. 


  The Council plays a major role in resolving the most severe 
conflicts among all users have the right to make amendments and 
additions to the Charter. 


  The Council may overrule any decision of the Coordinator, if 
it violates the Charter.

                   2.3.1 Definition sysop.

                   ------------------------

  Sysop (system operator) - is the owner of the station e
mail.


  Since sysops provide network resources of personal equipment
and are the sole owners of their stations, they have the right 
(on the its sole discretion) to dictate any terms of users who 
use these free resources. 


  Based on the foregoing, the claims of users (with the 
exception of complaints on the passage of an e-mail address) to 
any sysop networks are baseless and are not considered. 


                     2.3.2 Local Charter.

                     ---------------------

  Local Charter - a local (internal) rules of work with
Station BBS, the user has installed a network SpbZxNet. They do 
not contravene the basic Charter and serve only for the reports 
to other users how the relationship between them, and sysop. 
Local Charter is an optional attribute.

  The duties SysOra node is to support health
a node, the registration points (if the sysop does not want,

user's access to its BBS, then he is entitled not to do so and 
not comment on its decision), timely mail forwarding their 
points on the network, informing the Coordinator of the 
inoperable station and periodically informing him about the 
changes in the list of points. 


            2.3.4 Responsibilities sisopov gateway and hub.

            --------------------------------------

  The system operator network gateway SpbZxNet provides for the 
exchange of information users SpbZxNet with users on other 
networks. 


  The system operator ensures the shipment hub of information 
between their nodes, as well as connected to other hubs and 
gate network for the exchange of mail.



  The system operator of the central hub, in addition to other 
duties sysop hub is engaged and still processing all internal 
Mail (under the "internal mail" gets the internal mail users 
SpbZxNet, and external, as well as correspondence that came in 
SpbZxNet from other networks). 


  In the case of the heavy workload of the hub of postal 
correspondence, he raises the issue with the coordinator of the 
network to change the route of mail flow. 


  Routing mail between its nodes is determined by the hub 
itself. 


                      2.3.5 Rights sisopov.

                      -------------------

  In the right SysOrov SpbZxNet network is able to offer

   Refused to open the hub may be for the following reasons:


   - Lack at the moment need a new hub

   - Past violations of the Charter, which led to

     disconnected from the network

   - In case of insufficient kompetententsii candidate in

the list bbs network, while ex-sysop node receives a new 
address on another hub. 


  In the case of non-functioning site for more than 20 days, it 
is automatically deleted from the list of nodes SpbZxNet. 
Network address is reserved for nodom (can not be extradited to 
another node) within Three months after graduation.



  Also, a node can be disabled (read only) for a period of one
weeks or more of the outer echo-conference, if because of him, 
or because of his Point, gateway received the "Medal of Honour"

  The advantage of the appointment time, the operator enjoys a
