Channel Transfers

Channels can be transfered under a number of circumstances:

• The channel owner requests its transfer.
• The channel owner has been idle for longer than 21 days
• The channel belongs to an alliance or galaxy and the current owner no longer has their support.

Transfer Requested By Owner

To transfer ownership of a channel you need to ask in #cservice for a member of the CSC. You will need to have the person you want to transfer the channel to active and to know your secret answer.

Idle Channel Transfers

Once a channel's owner has not logged in to P for 21 days someone else with access in the channel may request its ownership. If this person has high access (generally is a supporter or close to) then the channel may be transfered immediatly, otherwise the CSC may first check if anyone objects. Once a channel owner reaches 28 days idle it may be taken by someone without channel access, although the CSC will first check if anyone with access wants it. Once a channel owner has reached 30 days idle the channel's topic is changed to indicate that it will be deleted soon if noone claims it. This is the same status as after 28 days, but with a visible warning.

If you want to claim a channel with an idle owner, ask in #cservice.

Alliance/Galaxy Channel Transfers

An alliance or galaxy channel owner must have the support of the relevant body. If they do not then a change may be requested. In the case of well known alliances this is often simple, as the HC are well known. In the case of galaxies or less well known alliances the channel supporter views may be more important. It is therfore important to make sure that channel supporters are also respected within the alliance.
