To achieve this, it has to seperate components, an +administrative and a techincal. + +The administrative component enforces compliance with the IRC rules in +Norway. The purpose of the rules is not to make operators net-police, +but action must nonetheless be taken when rules are not complied with. +Furthermore, we create national statistics on servers and users +connection time. (This info is however only available to the operators). +We also document IRC in Norway, and keep information files updated. +Finally, we give heavy user-support. All documentation, information +files, and user-support files are in the Norwegian language. +The technical component consist mainly of ensuring the proper and +reliable functioning of Norwegian servers and links, so that IRC in +Norway is compatible with the rest of the EBIC IRC Net. + +IRCNO also has its own email adress for any inquiries: op-no@nvg.unit.no + +IRCNO has official support from the Norwegian academic network provider +- UNINETT. + + +IRCNO tasks +~~~~~~~~~~ +Here is a list that defines IRCNO's tasks. + +1) Take care of the Norwegian IRC servers. +2) Enforce the rules for IRC use in Norway. +3) Be responsible toward UNINETT. +4) Make statistics. +5) Document IRC in Norway. +6) User support. + + +Rules of IRC use in Norway +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +We have 3 kinds of rules, user-bot, operator and server-admin. +Here is a short translation of the rules + +USER-RULES - The following is not allowed: + 1) Fake userids, or trying to hide the real user-id. + 2) Being intentionally offensive to another user. + 3) Dumping a lot of text to a public channel. + 4) Constant beeping on a channel. + 5) Anything that will reduce the techincal functionality of IRC. + 6) Harrasement defined by Norwegian Civil Law. + 7) Using offencive words in channel topics on public channels. + 8) Destroys the integrity of information. + 9) Compromise private communication. + + +BOT-RULES - The following guidelines must be followed: + 1) Bots must not have fake userid unless given permission. + 2) Bots must not send a message to a user not activating it. + 3) Bots must be invisible unless they perform a good "irc-deed". + 4) Bots must only answer to PRIVMSG by using NOTICE. + +Dispensation from some of the bot-rules may be given under certain +circumstances. + + +OPERATOR RULES + This guide gives guidelines on what is not good and what is good. + + Stuff that is not allowed: + - Using SQUIT / CONNECT to gain channel-operator-status. + - Mindless use of KILL. + - Using TRACE to find invisible users. + + Stuff that is allowed: + - Using SQUIT / CONNECT to "fix" the net. This is normally not + allowed and should be used with care. The IRCNO tries to make + efficient use of automatic routing. + - KILL should only be used when a user ask to be killed. KILL can + also be used if it's based in a certain paragraph of the USER + rule file. + + +SERVER RULES + Following is the EBIC-Rules conserning linking. For domestic + linking we have our own rules. + + 1) To get a server connect to the Norwegian IRC-net: + a. New servers must only be leafs. + b. New servers must have one primary- and one secondary link. + c. New servers should only have one active link at a time. + d. The new server must have enough users. + 2) New server connections should be discussed among the existing oper/admins. + 3) Any link should follow the physical net-topology. + 4) A server that is not close to a regional UNINETT net center should not + perform as a HUB server. + 5) Every server in Norway takes part in the national user-staistic. + 6) If hostmasking is to be used, every server behind a mask must be able + to connect to the up-host. + + +ADMIN RULES + 1) An irc-admin must be available by email, unless he/she notifies IRCNO + about any longer planned absence. + 2) A server-admin's duty is to have his/her server perform well for + the end-users and other servers on the irc-net. + 3) An irc-admin must upgrade his/her server and tune it according to + something suitable as soon as a server-release is known to be + relatively stable. + 4) An irc-admin that is not following these rules can loose his/her links + if 100% of IRCNO agrees. + + + +Persons in IRCNO +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +We do not have any leader or jobs, but we do preform certain tasks. +Every decision is taken by discussion and voting. We do not have any +problem with this, and no nasty disagreements occur. This we belive +is because of our Norwegian Nature :-) +Who is Who is documentet in the file called irc-no. Norwegian titles +in paranthesis. + +IRCNO secretary (IRCNO sekret{r) + Keeps track and system of all docs that are produced within IRCNO. + The updating of the various documents is left to the one who has + the administrative job with the document. + +Filearchive (Filarkiv) + Keeps the anonymous FTP archie at flode.nvg.unit.no up-to date. + The archive is also accessible by FSP. The archive consist of + IRCNO docs, IRC docs in general, and IRC software. + This person also administrate the two mailinglists that exist (IRCNO + and a IRC-user list) + +Statistics: (Statistikk) + Does the monthly stats of IRC-use in Norway. + +EBIC contact (EBIC kontakt) + This task is defined in the EBIC-rules. + +Link master (Link ansvarlig) + Job is to find the best links for Norwegian servers, and how they + should connect to each other. In link-matters this person often + has the last word. The link master write a link-report from time + to time (found on the archive as "links"). This report is the only + english document beside this one. This person must have good + knowlege on net-structure in Norway and how the server-linking works. + +UNINETT contact (UNINETT kontakt) + UNINETT want one contact person.
