Re: Policy regarding servers on the network

[Steve Schuster <sjs74 () CORNELL EDU>]

Cornell, namely Tracy Mitrano, worked for what seemed like years to get a
network registration policy in place for us.  We finished and promulgated
the policy last year and are now in the process of implementation.  The
formal policy can be found at http://www.policy.cornell.edu/vol5_7.cfm and
some implementation specifics can be found at
http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/support/netreg/.  Some pieces in the
second link might be permit locked but this should provide an initial feel
for where Cornell is at.

Hope this helps,
sjs
