Acceptable Use Policy

The Funding Councils' expectations in relation to the use of studios are as follows:

The facilities

  • are to be available first and foremost for videoconferencing

  • are to be booked only via the JANET Videoconferencing Service (JVCS) Booking Service

  • must pass regular JVCS Quality Assurance Acceptance tests

Equipment is being provided on the understanding that these expectations will be met.

If the studios are being booked for a purpose other than videoconferencing they must still be booked via the JVCS Booking Service, and should be shown as unavailable. This ensures that no facilities are double-booked. The JVCS Booking Service is web-based and is not integrated into any institutional room booking systems.

When using any of the JANET services, including the JVCS for multipoint videoconferences, institutions will have to abide by the JANET Acceptable Use Policy http://www.ja.net/services/publications/policy/aup.html (as they do with all current JANET services).
