New Ops: Cynthia -*APPROVED*

Motion One: To add to the existing guideline 14 which is: Remaining in a room while not at your computer for long periods can under certain circumstances be considered an invasion of privacy. If an operator considers this a problem you will be kicked. If your computer is on auto reconnect, you will be kicked and banned when your computer reconnects to the room. The ban will be lifted after five minutes thus hoping to disable the auto reconnect feature. It would typically occur if a member has been idle (away from keyboard) for more than 30-minutes if a meeting is about to start, or between meetings if a member is sharing a very personal story, and 60 minutes in between meetings, so as to protect privacy in the room. Ops should query prior to kicking. ( please note the reason for this policy is that an unmonitored computer can be viewed by anyone passing by, and therefore this policy will better ensure privacy). (9/15/03) and (3/1/11). The following wording: Repeatedly being idle may not be grounds for being banned beyond the 5 minutes to disconnect auto-reconnect. THIS MOTION WAS REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA, DUE TO THE PRESENTERS FAILURE TO BE PRESENT.
