KanREN Network Access Policy

July 28, 2009

The KanREN network connection provided to a connected member institution is intended for use by individuals associated with that institution. It is intended that the access afforded by the KanREN connection be deployed only to host devices resident within the member institution enterprise network. All KanREN access must be in accordance with the published KanREN acceptable use policy and any acceptable use policy promulgated by upstream Internet access providers employed by KanREN.

Providing KanREN service to other organizations not subsidiary to the KanREN member institution is prohibited without express permission, in writing, from KanREN, Inc. Furthermore, subsidiary or non-subsidiary entities are not entitled to direct support from KanREN - all support must be obtained through the member's internal IT organization. For the purposes of this policy, a secure VPN tunnel from a remote location or workstation is considered part of the member enterprise, as long as local member policy also considers it as same.

Multiple, individual insitutions eligible for individual KanREN membership may not combine as a single entity for the sole purpose of "sharing" KanREN network access.

All KanREN members accessing the KanREN network must ensure that all access to the network, through their connection, adheres the KanREN acceptable use policy.

KanREN reserves the right to restrict, prevent or otherwise control network access from member sites not in compliance with this policy.
