We stand at a firm three.

Only probably 30-40% of our playerbase are Roleplayers, however the corporation is completely ran on IC principle, IC diplomacy, and all decisions are made on IC grounds.

Those who don't Roleplay accept that and are quite welcoming of it

Hmmm...

This is where I think the Kyber-model needs some definite refining.

You say "predominantly IC" while 60-70% of the members don't roleplay and corp-chat isn't IC. That suggests we're using very different definitions: a player looking for one would be quite surprised by the other.

I think an important step forward would be to differentiate "everyday interaction" and "strategic action" (there are probably better terms). It seems a lot of corporations are very IC in the latter, and much less so in the former.

Does this fit with what others think of their own corporations?

The predominant feature seems to be to have an IC channel where people who want to RP "everyday interaction" can do so?

Another case to consider: does the corp consider that it's possible for a corp member to say "That public action (in space, on the markets, doing deals) wasn't IC"?

Uh oh, she's watching my twitter feed.

I'm not sure where to put Advent Ltd. on that scale. All members are expected to RP in some way. Our Corp chat is OOC for co-ordination and idle chit-chat we have a public IC channel, an internal IC channel, and then two or three IC channels with a more specific purpose/place (our tower, our main offices)

We consider everything done to be an IC "action" of our characters whether or not it was organized through our IC or OOC corp channels.

3.5?

I think every corp has a modicum of OOC to it, if only to simplify organization and emergency situations. I'd guess Advent Ltd is a four, to be honest, with only the bare essentials of OOC left in.

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread, as I'm currently organizing a new (and hopefully successful) RP corp.  Those of you who've seen my posts on IGS will have a general idea of what it's going to be all about.

Trying to decide on the best chat channel setup is definitely tricky.  We're leaning towards having the official corp channel being strictly IC, with an OOC private channel for friendly banter on the side.

I guess the aim is to be a 4, but from the looks of things it'll probably settle as a 3-3.5 over time, which is fine.

This sounds like what I'm now used to from my years in immersionist corps in EM. Alliance, Alliance OOC, Corp, Corp OOC, a bundle of other IC and public OOC channels. OOC channels are both for banter about RL stuff and for OOC clarifications of what's going on in the IC channels.

We do joke about having a lot of channels. I keep an OOC chat channel stack and an IC chat channel stack, as well as separate local and fleet. It really helps avoid confusion about whether I'm typing in an IC or OOC channel.
