Organizational Change Proposal

Revision as of 19:32, 8 September 2008

"Darning to be different."

As discussed in #EB, DareNET is a multi-purpose community. It exists to provide interactive services to the Internet community at-large. We are not your traditional IRC network, and have no desire to be. Our organizational makeup should reflect this. Below is a brief written outline of some of the proposals brought up during the channel discussion.

Hierarchy & Structure

The network's administration would be divided into two distinct groups (Operations and Support), each lead by an appointed director. Operations would mainly be responsible for the logistical aspects of the network (e.g. development, maintenance of servers, etc), while Support would be responsible for the "customer service" aspects of the network.

Below is visual representation on how the staff hierarchy might look in such a setup:

Executive Board
- Director, Operations
  - Development Manager
    - IRCd Development
    - Services Development
    - Web Development
  - Server Manager(s)
    - Server Coordinators
      - Server Administrators
        Server Operators
  - Security Manager(s)
- Director, Support
  - Abuse Manager
    - Investigators
  - Support Managers
    - Support Operators
      - Support Agents
  - Training Manager
    - Trainers
      - Trainees
