Schedule B
Acceptable Use Policy
This Acceptable Use Policy(hereafter referred to as'AUP')specifies certain actions prohibited by the
Illinois Century Network (hereafter referred to as'1CN' or'Network')for users of the Network. The ICN
reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time to stay in compliance with all known laws, regulations,
policies, and security requirements that may be established by appropriate legislative or regulatory
authorities or enacted by ICN management. By using ICN services, any customer, employee or third party
unconditionally accepts the terms of this policy.
Authorized Use. The ICN is a publicly owned private network established by the ICN Act(20 ILCS
3921)and signed into law on June 8, 1999. ICN systems and services are for the use of authorized
users only. Authorized users are subject to monitoring of all activities on ICN systems and recorded by
ICN staff during routine network monitoring for the purpose of security and network performance audits.
Any user of ICN systems expressly consents to such routine monitoring and is advised that if such moni-
toring reveals possible evidence of criminal activity, ICN staff may provide the evidence of such monitor-
ing to law enforcement officials. Further, if illicit activity of any kind is suspected as a result of the afore-
mentioned routine monitoring, an internal investigation may result and employment may be suspended or
terminated pending the outcome of such investigation. The ICN also reserves the right to deny IP
addresses or revoke IP addresses.
Illegal Use. The ICN may be used only for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution or storage of any
material in violation of any applicable law or regulation coming to or from any unauthorized network or
system is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade
secret or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; government and military data
protected by law and applicable national security policies and concerns; ICN data protected by public poli-
cy; and material that, in ICN's sole discretion, is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or vio-
lates export control laws or any other laws or applicable regulations.Any violation of the above which
compromises the integrity of the ICN or any other network connected to the ICN is strictly prohibited.
System and Network Security. Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result
in criminal and/or civil liability. Use of the ICN network constitutes consent to ICN's routine network moni-
toring.Should any violations of the law or this AUP be discovered during monitoring, ICN will involve and
cooperate with local, Illinois, and Federal law enforcement authorities for resolution. Examples of unlawful
acts, system, or network security violations include, but are not limited to,the following:
1. Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe,
damage, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentica-
tion measures without express authorization of the owner of the system or network. ION employ-
ees may scan or test the vulnerability of ICN systems or networks that they are responsible for or
they manage.
2. Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system without express authoriza-
tion of the owner of the system or network. ICN employees may monitor data or traffic on any
ION network or system owned and operated by the ICN or for which the ICN is expressly respon-
sible to manage through agreement with the owner. Interference with service to any user, host or
network including,without limitation, email "bombing", email "spamming", flooding, deliberate
attempts to overload a system, and broadcast or"smurf attacks.
3. Unauthorized access to any data, system, or network from an unauthorized system or network
for any purpose which is not lawful or which is intended to do harm.
4. Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a
newsgroup posting. Electronic forging of any kind to include but not limited to IP addresses,
domains, business names, etc.
8
ICN Definitions.
Email "bombing"is characterized by abusers repeatedly sending an identical email message to a
particular address.
Email "spamming" is a variant of bombing; it refers to sending email to hundreds or thousands of
users (or to lists that expand to that many users). It may also occur innocently, as a result of
sending a message to mailing lists and not realizing,that the list explodes to thousands of users,
or as a result of an incorrectly set-up responder message.
Flooding, or SYN floods, occurs when a target machine is flooded with TCP connection requests.
The target host becomes extremely slow, crashes or hangs.
Broadcast or"smurf'attacks cause network links to become overloaded. The"smurf'attack
sends a stimulus stream of ICMP echo requests ("pings")to the broadcast address of a subnet.
Having read the ICN Acceptable Use Policy, I agree to abide by the provisions herein. By accessing the
ICN, I acknowledge that if the provisions of the Policy are violated, I may be subject to referral to the legal
authorities. In consideration for the privilege of using the ICN and in consideration for having access to
the public networks, I hereby release the ICN, its staff, and any institutions with which they are affiliated
from any and all claims and damages of any nature arising from my use of, or inability to use, the system,
including, without limitation, the type of damages identified in the ICN's acceptable use policy.

FROM: Olufemi Folarin, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement with Elgin
Community College and Illinois Century Network
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to approve an
intergovernmental agreement with Elgin Community College and
Illinois Century Network for shared access to the Illinois
Century Network.
BACKGROUND
The Illinois Century Network (known as ICN) serves as an
"Illinois Intranet" by providing high-speed connectivity between
member institutions. The majority of all public K-12, private
and public higher education, public libraries and museums are
connected to the statewide Illinois Century Network with more
added each week. About 20 percent of traffic originates and
terminates on the ICN never leaving the network. Originally
designed for educational institutions, municipal governments are
now allowed to join the network as well . The new fiber optic
cable installed this year makes it possible for the City and ECC
to share ECC' s connection to the ICN. An intergovernmental
agreement with ICN and ECC will provide the City access to the
network through the shared connection with ECC. Educational
members are given a no cost access to the network with the
bandwidth being determined by total enrollments . The City would
be required to pay a nominal fee of $225 per month to ICN to be
a municipal member of the ICN. The City would receive a
dedicated 750K bits per second connection from ICN plus an
additional 1 .25 Megabits per second bandwidth from ECC for a
total connection speed of 2 megabits per second. By switching
' the City Internet connection from Fox Valley Internet to the ICN
the City would save the current fees of $750 per month to Fox
