[committee] Draft account locking guidelines

[Daniel J. Axtens]

So the final draft for the committee meeting toady:

========================

UCC network accounts are a privilege of membership, not a right. This policy
outlines the reasons for which a member's access to his or her account may be
suspended (locking of account), and the procedure for reinstitution of access
(unlocking).

This policy is a guideline for those involved in managing UCC accounts and
facilities.

*Why may accounts be locked?*
Accounts may be locked for 3 reasons:

  - Disciplinary:
      When a member's behaviour is unacceptable.
      This may include, but is not limited to:
          - Breach of the UCC UNIX/Network Account policy, and, by extension,
            the UWA Network and Security Policy; or
          - Abuse of the clubroom resources (e.g., not maintaining a
            reasonable level of tidiness).

  - Security:
       When, in the opinion of a Wheel member, the account poses a serious
       security risk to the member or the Club, for example, by having a weak
       password.


  - Expiration of Membership:
      When a a member does not renew his or her account.

*Procedure for Locking*
  - Locking an account must be performed by a Wheel member.
  - Members of Door group may request that a Wheel member lock an account for
    disciplinary reasons.

As well as disabling access to the account, the Wheel member responsible must:
  - Notify the member, preferably via electronic mail to a non-UCC address.
  - Notify the committee (committee-only at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au) and other members
    of Wheel group (wheel at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au).

The technical methods of locking an account are beyond the scope of this
document; Wheel members should familiarise themselves with the procedure.

*How may accounts be unlocked?*
The procedure for unlocking an account depends on the reason for locking:

  - Disciplinary:
      The matter will be discussed at the next UCC Committee meeting. The
      member with the locked account and the responsible Wheel/Door member
      will be invited to present their point of view to committee.
      The committee will decide if any further action is appropriate.
      The account will remain locked until the committee passes a motion to
      unlock it.

  - Security:
      The account will be unlocked once a Wheel member is satisfied that the
      account no longer poses a significant security risk to the member and
      the Club.

  - Expiration of membership:
      The account will be unlocked upon presentation of a current membership
      card to a Wheel or Door member.
