RFC 2811: Internet Relay Chat: Channel management

 

5.2.1 Channel Identifier


   The channel identifier is a function of the time.  The current time
   (as defined under UNIX by the number of seconds elapsed since
   00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970) is converted in a string of five (5)
   characters using the following base:
   "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890" (each character has a decimal
   value starting from 0 for 'A' to 35 for '0').

   The channel identifier therefore has a periodicity of 36^5 seconds
   (about 700 days).
