Purpose:

The UNIX Networking User Group (UNUG), is an organization of UNIX network users from campus-wide departmental units who have come together to share technical expertise in UNIX networking and related issues. UNUG acts as an advisory body to the University Network Connected Equipment Liaisons (UNCEL) regarding UNIX-based connected devices.

Mission Statement:

The mission of UNUG is to facilitate and promote the exchange of expertise relating to the deployment of UNIX networking and other solutions to the ASU community.

Membership:

Membership in UNUG is open to all ASU affiliates who are or who may become responsible for the administration of a network-connected UNIX-based device and whose job functions also include computing consulting. All members are voting members on issues relative to the purpose and mission of the group.

Members are encouraged to obtain electronic mail access as communications to members is achieved through the UNUG listserv (UNUG@ASU.EDU or http://www.asu.edu/it/ag/unug/mail.html).  UNUG information and networking solutions will be posted on UNUG Web pages on ASU Web Server at http://www.asu.edu/it/ag/unug.

Officers and Steering Committee:

Meetings are conducted by an elected Chair and Co-chair who work closely with the membership. The Chair and Co-chair are elected by the general membership and will hold office for one (1) year (beginning with the October meeting) and can be re-elected to the position, not to exceed two (2) years in office. The Chair and Co-chair will take an active role representing the general UNUG membership to UNCEL.  The Chair will appoint a UNUG officer or a member of the Steering Committee as the UNUG representative to the UNCEL Executive Committee.

A note taker is designated at the beginning of each meeting. The note taker is responsible for taking minutes at the general UNUG meetings and ensuring that the notes are published.

Nominations and Elections:

Nominations and general elections for Officers are held on a yearly basis. Nominations will take place in September.  Officer elections will take place at the October meeting. Nominations are taken from the general UNUG active membership.

A special election will be held, as needed, in the event that an Officer vacates his/her position before the designated term of office has expired. Nominations will be solicited from the general membership. The special election will take place at the next general meeting following the announcement of the position vacancy.
