Policy Document
The IX operations are guided by the Policy Document which is the constitution of the IX. The procedures and terms outlined in the document can only be changed by a vote of members at the General Meeting. Any proposal to change the way Amaravati IX operates needs to be voted on by the participant members.
Pricing
No port fees
At this point, Amaravati IX doesn't charge any port fee from its members. All expenses (hardware, IT infrastructure etc.) are covered by donations from our generous sponsors and IX members. The IX members may choose to ammend the Policy Document to reflect any changes to this policy if need be. Such a change will be open for discussion for at least three months prior to vote and all members will be notified.
