WCLawNet: Bylaws ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ This document details the statement of purpose, member requirements, rules, regulations and policies of WCLawNet. Rules and regulations may be contested by members or users. The Network Administrator may Add, Delete, or Amend WCLawNet rules and regulations at his discretion. Purpose ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The purpose of the WCLawNet is to make information widely available to the Law Enforcement and Public communities. This is done by providing message areas as an open forum for the exchange of ideas. Minimum Requirements ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Only Sysops who are sworn peace officers actively employed by a law enforcement agency may carry all the conferences. All members must carry the WCLawNet public access and LE restricted access conferences. The public access conferences may be echoed by a BBS whose Sysop is not a sworn peace officer but the BBS in question will not have access to the LE conferences. The Admin conference is for WCLawNet Member Sysops only and access must not be granted to other callers. Access to all the LE conferences must be limited to callers that are verified as employed in Law Enforcement. The employment must be verified by independent or first hand means that allow no margin for error due to the sensitivity of some of the conferences. A member board that is proven to have failed to do so will be dropped from the net. All members must have bulletins containing the information within the RULES.TXT readily available to all users in all network conferences. Members are required to obey the law. Any member engaged in or promoting illegal activities will be expelled from WCLawNet. WCLawNet message conferences will be made available to callers for no charge. WCLawNet conferences are not to be bridged with the conferences of other networks. Members must follow the WCLawNet conference rules and encourage their callers to do so as well. WCLawNet member boards must not allow uploads of or have on their board conferences or files of an Adult Rated, X-Rated, etc. nature. Only WCLawNet members are to be permitted to carry the net conferences. Joining WCLawNet ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If you are interested in carrying WCLawNet on your BBS please fill out the WCLAWNET.FRM file and submit it to the WCLawNet Administrator. Submissions may be made either electronically (by calling the WCLawNet Hub BBS) or by mail. Further instructions for application are in the file WCLAWNET.FRM. Administration ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The WCLawNet Administrator is responsible for the day to day operation of the network, assisting new members, resolving technical problems and operating the network hub.
