| Hi everyone..
|
|
| - Although anybody can become a leaf node (providing they pay their
| membership fee), not just anybody can stick an OMNI on their roof and
| run as an AP. Wherever possible, AP's will be provided by the AWA, using
| donated or brought hardware. Members _can_ run an AP, however they must
| sign a contract agreeing to things like not turning it off without
| notice, upholding AWA authentication protocols, etc etc. If the member
| breaks this contract, there is a provision for them to be fined $500
|


While there is a clause in the Assoc. rules for a maximum $500 fine to be
given to a member this is an extreme measure which would only be placed upon
a member if for example they caused malicious damage to equipment whicch
would have to be replaced or similar, there would be a few questions asked
of a private WPOP operator if they did break the contract, but by no means
would they be fined $500, their position as an operator would be looked into
though.

For those of you who wish to have a look through the full set of draft
rules, they are available at
