-
- If you like in future to establish a link inside the EBIC area,
- please contact the coordinator of the affected toplevel domain.
- This coordinator will discuss the link with affected local server
- admins and inform other EBIC members about new links. Also a good
- idea is to join #EU-Opers and discuss the new link there.

- ########################################################################
- ##### RULES FOR ESTABLISHING NEW IRC SERVERS IN EUROPE (v1.0) #####
- ########################################################################
-
-
- 1.) Establishing a new server and inner domain linking should be
- a local toplevel domain (country) decision.
-
- Guidelines:
-
- + New servers should be leafed until their admin(s)
- have sufficient experience to handle their server
- responsibly. (This avoids routing disasters).
-
- + Only a link for ONE server should be given to the new
- server site, that means the new site shouldn't be able to
- connect test-servers to other than its own server.
- (This avoids confusion about linking hierachy).
-
- + Be sure that if a toplevel domain hostmask link is given,
- all hubs of that domain can connect the masked server!
- (this should avoid disagreement between serveral hub
- admins in one domain).
-
-
- 2.) All other links between toplevel domains (countries) should be
- dicussed between the major link coordinators of each toplevel
- domain (country). These coordinators are called European Board
- of IRC Coordinators (EBIC).
-
- Guidelines:
-
- + Major link coordinators of each toplevel domain (country)
- should be published with the server sourcecode in
- directory ./doc/EU-Admin.
-
- + Each toplevel domain (country) participating in the
- European IRC net must have a coordinator, who is
- responsible for country-internal connections AND
- represents the country in contacts with the rest of the
- world. This person(s) is (are) chosen by their domain,
- but must be approved by the EBIC.
-
- + The EBIC is the only executive in charge of European
- interconnections and of connections from Europe to the
- rest of the world. They will decide linking issues
- WITH the affected local admins.
-
- + For establishing new links between several toplevel
- domains the affected EBIC coordinators should be
- consulted. If further coordination is needed it should
- be discussed within the EBIC.
-
- + Additional note: International links should also take
- care of the network topology, so even if several national
- opers agree on a same international link, they might be
- wrong and use unecessary network ressources. The EBIC
- should avoid such linking.
-
- + Any major linking change should be announced in the
- european mailing list:
- IRC-Operators Europe <irc-eu@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr>
-
-
- 3.) A prerequisite for getting a NEW server connection within
- Europe is an understanding of and compliance to the above
- rules.
-
- Guideline:
-
- + All new admins should get a copy of these rules.
