Constitution

Who we are (and are not), and how we operate

• Cape Town Wireless User Group is not a club or official organisation, but a research network.
• Most decisions are made by general consensus at group meetings, and by committee members.
• Anyone is able to attend these meetings, regardless of whether they are active on the Cape Town Wireless User Group network.
• The group has a committee of Chairman, vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer that preside over the regular meetings, generally held as indicated via the mailing list and shown on the website.
• Equipment donated to the group 'belongs' to the group (not any individual) except if otherwise stated by the committee members.
• Private Node operators who own their equipment are bound to act according to the Code-of-Conduct outlined here.

Network Access

There is one class of membership to the Cape Town Wireless User Group. All users are equal (==), meaning no user will have traffic priority over another user. This class is called:

Wugger

• Wuggers will have full access to the network without any bandwidth restrictions except where necessary for the health of the network or network segment.
• Wuggers can vote at the group's meetings, these include any resolution that affects the organisational or financial aspects of the group in any form.
• A Wugger is connected to the network and utilising what the network has to offer.
• Wuggers may donate money to further assist in growing and expanding the wireless network.

Donations may be used to fund new CTWUG equipment, constructing/erecting CTWUG high sites as well as maintenance on current CTWUG owned high sites.

Donations to further the network are open to all
