|
||||
<li> Recognizing that the Computer Science Club has, in the past,
|
||||
benefitted from the participation of individuals who were not
|
||||
undergraduates at the University of Waterloo, full membership in this
|
||||
organization shall be open to all members of the University of
|
||||
Waterloo community. This includes, but is not limited to, students,
|
||||
staff, and faculty, and anyone who has previously belonged to one of
|
||||
these categories. In the event of a dispute, the Executive shall
|
||||
decide whether an individual is eligible for full membership.<br />
|
||||
At their discretion, the Executive may also allow individuals not satisfying
|
||||
the above description to obtain a full membership.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Affiliate membership in this Club shall be open to all other
|
||||
persons. Affiliate members shall have all the rights of full members
|
||||
except for the rights of voting and holding executive office.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> A person is not a member until he or she has paid
|
||||
the current membership
|
||||
fee and has been issued a membership card.
|
||||
Membership lasts until the end of the term in which it was issued.
|
||||
The membership card indicates, at least, a member's name, membership number,
|
||||
the term for which the membership is valid, and an indication that
|
||||
the member is an associate member, if indeed that is true.
|
||||
The membership fee is set from time to time by the Executive.</li>

</section>
|
||||
|
||||
<section title="Officers">
|
||||
<ol><li> The officers of the Club shall be:</li>
|
||||
<ol><li> President</li>
|
||||
<li> Vice-President</li>
|
||||
<li> Secretary</li>
|
||||
<li> Treasurer</li>
|
||||
<li> System Administrator</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The faculty advisor shall be an ex-officio member of the
|
||||
Club.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The choice of officers shall be limited to full members of the
|
||||
Club.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> All officers, other than the System Administrator, shall be
|
||||
elected at a meeting to be held no later than three weeks after the
|
||||
start of each school term, such start defined as the beginning of
|
||||
lectures in the Winter and Spring terms, and as the beginning of
|
||||
Orientation Week in the Fall term.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The election of officers shall be accomplished by the following
|
||||
procedure:</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The past executive shall choose a willing Chief Returning
|
||||
Officer, with duties defined below, set an election date, and set a
|
||||
date for the opening of nominations such that the nomination period
|
||||
(from the opening of nominations to 4:30 P.M. on the day preceding
|
||||
the elections) is at least one week.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Announcements of the election and the nomination procedure must
|
||||
be distributed to all members by one or more of electronic mail,
|
||||
Usenet, or posters in at least the Math and Computer building.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> During the nomination period, the Chief Returning Officer (CRO)
|
||||
shall be available to receive nominations for the posts of officers of
|
||||
the club, either in person, by depositing nomination forms in the
|
||||
CSC's mailbox in the MathSoc office, or by writing the nomination in a
|
||||
place in the CSC office to be specified by the CRO.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> A nomination shall consist of the nominee's name, and post(s)
|
||||
nominated for. Nominees must be full members of the Computer Science
|
||||
Club.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The election shall commence with the offering of memberships for
|
||||
sale. After a reasonable time, control of the meeting is given to the
|
||||
CRO who will manage the election of the President, Vice-President,
|
||||
Treasurer, and Secretary, in that order. Each election shall be
|
||||
carried out by secret ballot, in a manner to be decided on by the CRO,
|
||||
with the approval of the memberdip. An accurate count of votes for
|
||||
each candidate for each position must be made and recorded by the CRO.
|
||||
A simple heads-down-hands-up method is considered acceptable. As soon
|
||||
as possible the CRO will announce the results of the election and the
|
||||
winner will be removed from subsequent contests. If this removal or
|
||||
lack of nominations results in a vacant post, elections for such posts
|
||||
may not be held at the election meeting, but elections for such posts
|
||||
may be held at a later date, in accordance with the election
|
||||
procedures. The membership decides whether or not to hold extra
|
||||
elections.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Following the elections, it is the responsibility of the new executive
|
||||
to select a System Administrator. The selection of System Administrator must
|
||||
then be ratified by the membership of the Club. If a suitable System
|
||||
Administrator is not available, then the executive may delay their selection
|
||||
until one becomes available. In this case the selection of System
|
||||
Administrator must be ratified at the next meeting of the Club.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The faculty advisor shall be appointed by the present executive council
|
||||
within three (3) weeks of each term's elections. The faculty
|
||||
advisor shall be a person having membership in the Association for Computing
|
||||
Machinery and having a genuine interest in the Club.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Any two offices may be held by a single person if the President
|
||||
deems this advisable, subject to the consent of the membership.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> In the case of a resignation of an officer or officers, the membership
|
||||
may call elections to replace such officer(s).
|
||||
If they are called, they must follow the given election procedure.
|
||||
Such elections would be for all offices which are vacant.</li>

<p>
|

Everyone who receives an account on one of the CSC machines must sign
|
||||
the agreement in the final section. This document does not state who
|
||||
will be allowed accounts on CSC machines, the normal expiry period of
|
||||
accounts, nor any other similar matters. Further, this policy does
|
||||
not, in general, guarantee any ``rights'' to users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Policies for group accounts and administrative accounts are not yet
|
||||
available (this section will contain links to them when they do become
|
||||
available). There is also a brief (instead of legalese)
|
||||
<a href="machine_usage_summary.html">summary of the usage policy</a> available.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
|
||||
<section title="Usage Policy">
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The usage policy is divided into the following sections:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><a href="#usageaccept">Acceptable and Unacceptable Use</a></li>
|
||||
<li><a href="#usagerespons">User Responsibilities</a></li>

</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that in the following sections, the term "user" implies a user of a
|
||||
CSC machine, unless otherwise specified.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="usageaccept">Acceptable and Unacceptable Use</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The CSC machines are intended for research, personal projects,
|
||||
and general use in accordance with the aims of the CSC (see the
|
||||
<a href="constitution.html">CSC Constitution</a> for further details).
|
||||
Projects that are of interest to the CSC may be given special priority
|
||||
by the CSC Systems Committee.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Users are subject to the restriction that course, thesis and commercial
|
||||
work is prohibited. In addition, users must adhere to the CSC's policies
|
||||
concerning machine usage.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="usagerespons">User Responsibilities</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Users must be responsible for their behaviour.
|
||||
Users, and not the CSC, will be held accountable for any of their illegal,
|
||||
damaging or unethical actions. Such actions are obviously not permitted
|
||||
on CSC machines.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Users must act responsibly, and the needs of others with regard to
|
||||
computing resources must be considered at all times. In particular, no
|
||||
user should use any resource to an extent that other users are prevented
|
||||
from similarly using that resource, and no user's actions shall disrupt
|
||||
the work of other users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Users must also abide by the usage policies of all machines that they
|
||||
connect to from CSC machines, or use to connect to CSC machines. It is
|
||||
the users' responsibility to check the policies of <em>all</em> machines
|
||||
that they connect to.
|
||||
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="usagesecurity">Security</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Users may not attempt to gain access to accounts
|
||||
other than those which they have been permitted to use.
|
||||
Similarly, users may not attempt to access other users'
|
||||
private files, nor may they attempt to find out the password of
|
||||
any account.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
An account may only be used by the person assigned to it. <em>Do not
|
||||
tell your password to anybody, or let anyone else use your account</em>.
|
||||
Users should consider the security implications of their actions.<br/>
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Passwords for accounts on CSC machines should not be used on
|
||||
other machines</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Accounts not on MFCF or CSC machines should not be granted
|
||||
automatic access to CSC accounts (e.g. via .rhosts files).</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The appropriate members of the systems committee must be notified immediately
|
||||
in the event that a security problem is found. Naturally, the problem
|
||||
should neither be exploited nor made public until it can be corrected.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||

<h3><a name="usagerights">Rights of the Systems Committee and the CSC Executive</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Systems Committee may examine any files or programs believed to be out of
|
||||
control or in violation of the usage policies for the CSC network.
|
||||
Examination of a program includes examination of the running process
|
||||
and its binary. Files believed to be the data or source to the process
|
||||
may also be examined. The process may be killed, stopped or otherwise
|
||||
interrupted at the discretion of the Systems Committee. If
|
||||
the Systems Committee takes any of the
|
||||
above actions, the owner of the process will be notified.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Systems Committee may at any time revoke a user's permission to
|
||||
access an account provided that a written (possibly electronic)
|
||||
explanation is given. Cause for removal of access to an account
|
||||
includes, but is not limited to, violation of the machine usage policy.
|
||||
In the event of a dispute, a user whose account has been revoked
|
||||
may appeal to the CSC Executive for its reinstatement, as per the
|
||||
<a href="constitution.shtml">CSC Constitution</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The CSC Executive has the right to update any policy, including this one,
|
||||
with reasonable notice.

<section title="Club Accounts">
|
||||
<p>The club accounts policy is divided into the following 2 sections:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><a href="#clubaccess">Access Control</a></li>
|
||||
<li><a href="#clubrespons">Responsibility and Accountability</a></li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="clubaccess">Access Control</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note: For the given section, any mention of the club, except in direct
|
||||
reference to the Computer Science Club, will refer an club other than the
|
||||
CSC, which has, or requests, an account on a Computer Science Club machine.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Clubs are given accounts to provide them with e-mail and WWW pages, but are
|
||||
subject to the following to certain rules.<br/>
|
||||
They are as follows:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The club account is subject to all restrictions of a users
|
||||
account, except that it is a shareable account
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The account shall be accessable to only 3 members of the club.
|
||||
Further, these 3 members shall be known to the CSC Systems
|
||||
Administrator to insure that these people are aware of this
|
||||
section of the user agreement.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The club members must be full members of the Computer Science
|
||||
Club, and have regular user accounts on the CSC machine that the
|
||||
club account will be on.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The club members with access to the club account shall not grant
|
||||
access to any other members by any means that are available to
|
||||
them, other than approaching the CSC System Administrator and
|
||||
requesting the change of access. If there are already 3 club
|
||||
members with access, then a member with access must be removed
|
||||
before a new member can be given access.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="clubrespons">Responsibility and Accountable</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The account is the responsibility of the members who have access. If the
|
||||
resources owned by the club account are found to be in violation of any
|
||||
policy/rule/law of any of, but not limited to, the Computer Science Club,
|
||||
MFCF, the University of Waterloo, or any relevant law enforcement agency,
|
||||
then the members with access will be held <b>equally</b> responsible for
|
||||
that action.

<section title="User Agreement">
|

<p>
|
||||
I have read and understood the usage policy of 17 April 1994, and I
|
||||
agree to use my account(s) on the CSC network in accordance with this
|
||||
policy. I am responsible for all actions taken by anyone using this
|
||||
account. Furthermore, I accept full legal responsibility for all of the
|
||||
actions that I commit using the CSC network according to
|
||||
any and all applicable laws.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I understand that with little or no notice machines on the CSC
|
||||
network and resources on these machines may become unavailable.
|
||||
Machines may ``go down'' while users are using them, and I will
|
||||
not hold the CSC responsible for lost time or data.

Policies for group accounts and administrative accounts are not yet
|

available (this section will contain links to them when they do become

available). This is a brief (instead of legalese) version of the
|

<a HREF="policy.shtml">usage policy</a>.
|
||||
Everyone who receives an account on one of the CSC machines must sign
|
||||
the agreement based on the usage policy, and this summary lists the
|
||||
things that the users will agree to.

<section title="Summary">
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Use of accounts:</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>one person only</li>
|
||||
<li>for hacking, not for course work or cracking</li>
|
||||
<li>if you're not working on a specially authorized project, don't
|
||||
abuse system resources</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>don't abuse other users, either</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Security:</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>again, don't crack</li>
|
||||
<li>your .rhosts file should only contain your user IDs on CSC and
|
||||
MFCF machines</li>
|
||||
<li>don't use passwords that you use elsewhere, and <em>never</em>
|
||||
|
||||
tell anyone your password</li>
|
||||
<li>be secure!</li>
|
||||
<li>if you find security holes, report them to the sysadmin but
|
||||
don't blab or try to take advantage of them</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>The Systems Committee may:</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Examine programs that seem to be violating policy or security;
|
||||
this includes the following <em>when necessary</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>watching what the program does</li>
|
||||
<li>looking at the executable and source</li>
|
||||
<li>looking at files that the program seems to be using</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
(you will be informed if any of this happens)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Remove accounts with an explanation but no notice (especially
|
||||
if the user is violating the machine policy)</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>General:</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>you are completely responsible for your actions</li>
|
||||
<li>don't do illegal, damaging, or unethical things</li>
|
||||
<li>the exec can change their policies with reasonable notice</li>
|
||||
<li>CSC machines will not be up at all times, and may even crash
|
||||
while you are using them</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>if CSC machines cause you to lose time, data, sleep or your SO,
|
||||
then it's your own tough luck</li>

The CSC website is currently being revamped, what you are seeing
|
||||
is the new design and structure of the site. If you would like
|
||||
to help out you should probably e-mail me, that is, <a
|
||||
href="mailto:sjdutoit@uwaterloo.ca">Stefanus Du Toit</a> and
|
||||
I'll let you know how to get started.

|

<p>
|
||||
This website is completely generated from XML sources using an
|
||||
XSLT (XML Stylesheet Language Transformation), which is
|
||||
basically a simple XML programming language specifically built
|
||||
for this kind of thing. This allows complete separation of form
|
||||
and content as well as automating a number of tasks (such as
|
||||
generating the <a href="/events/">events pages</a>).
