SUBJECT: THE UFONET CHARTER                                  FILE: UFO2809




The <<UFONET>> Charter:
----------------------

- We are a not-for-profit operation, and prohibit the charging
  of user fees in order to specifically access <<UFONET>>.

- Our goal is to provide an unbiased, free and open forum, for
  those persons interested in discussing any of the many aspects
  which relate to the "UFO phenomenon", as its commonly known.

- <<UFONET>> will not have an official editorial policy. Rather,
  we will let the Echo and File areas act as a vehicle whereby
  people may let their positions be known without discrimination.

- <<UFONET>> Sysops and users are strongly encouraged to attract
  to the network known individuals who have expertise in some
  aspect of the field of "UFOlogy". Our combined objective is to
  reach the widest user base, composed both of researchers and
  the general public, in order that information may be analyzed
  and disseminated to the benefit of all.

Press Enter...

- The heart and soul of <<UFONET>> is its echomail conferences,
  and file resource library. All validated users who observe the
  "Code of Conduct" shall have unimpeded access to these areas.

- As <<UFONET>> is non-profit, we are not in competition with any
  other groups and organizations in the same field. Our goal here
  at <<UFONET>> is to act in part as clearing-house for information
  past and present which impacts the study of "UFOlogy". Where
  possible, we hope to co-operate with other groups and organizations
  in our shared goal of making the public better educated and informed.

- For purposes of Voting, all <<UFONET>> Sysops who have been with the
  network for a minimum of three months, shall be accorded one vote.
  The Moderator (Tom Mickus), shall be accorded two votes, while the
  acting Hub Sysop will be given an additional franchise.

- Changes in the <<UFONET>> Charter and policy, shall be achieved by
  a two-thirds majority by the <<UFONET>> "Operating Committee",
  composed of all <<UFONET>> Sysops and the Moderator.


                           - Tom Mickus  February 26th/1989
