United SysOps of the World
==========================
March. 1994

Description:
------------
                This non-profit organization is being created for one 
        evident reason: to unite the most SysOps in the world.   This 
        union has some simple goals:

                - Allow sysops to have the resource to help each other
                - Allow a fast spreading of the latest sharewares and
                  informations
                - Give non-bbs users an awareness of the existence of BBSes
                  and their usefullness
                - Allows SysOps to meet and discuss about new ideas &
                  projects

The basic explanation of how it should work:
--------------------------------------------
                SysOps will be grouped according to their geographical
        location.  Each region will have an organizer and each province or
        state will also have an organizer for the regional organizers.  But  
        there is no authority on any level.  Regions can do what they want
        but it would be nice of them to inform their state organizers to 
        keep the other sysops informed of what events occur in other regions.

                Organizers will regularly contact their "parent"
        organizer to spread information & sharewares.  Then
        the regional organizers will spread the files & informations
        to the SysOps.  
        
                Shareware authors who send their shareware to the home BBS 
        will allow their programs to be spread on the entire network.  If 
        they send their program to regional BBSes then the spread will only 
        be in the concerned region(s) unless otherwise specified by the 
        author.  The home BBS will send lists of all the regional and 
        provincial BBSes to shareware authors to inform them of the union.  
        The home BBS will only accept sharewares from those who made them 
        to insure the original filename and contents remain intact.

                Organizers ARE NOT ALLOWED to modify the files in anyway.
        Only archive comments will be accepted.  No files added or removed
        from the archives!

Basic representation of the network levels:
-------------------------------------------
        The home BBS
                State/Province Organizers
                        Regional Organizers

                This is only an example to clarify the working structure
        of the network.  The "real" network will be adjusted based upon
        the number of members in each location
