             Ethics Office establishes business ethics Notes file
   
         For the next several months, employees worldwide will be able to 
   learn more about and comment on Digital's business ethics practices 
   through a new ETHICS Notes file.  
         The initial entry will appear in Notes the week of Aug. 14.  To 
   add this new entry to your notebook, type ADD ENTRY POWDML::ETHICS at 
   your Notes prompt.
         New issues will be posted on a periodic basis.  Employees can 
   share their opinions on how to resolve ethics dilemmas that arise from 
   common business situations.    
         According to John Buckley, operations manager for the Ethics 
   Office, "This is a chance to establish a vigorous dialogue about 
   Digital's ethics standards.  We hope that employees will use the 
   Notes file as a way to refresh their knowledge of Digital's standards, 
   while we in the Ethics Office continue to learn how the standards are 
   understood by employees and how they impact business activity."
         The Ethics Office will moderate the Notes file and provide 
   commentary on the discussion.  All normal standards for noting will 
   apply, especially those regarding respect for individuals.
         Employees can suggest additional topics for the ETHICS notesfile 
   or contact the Ethics Office for any other reason via E-mail: Ethics 
   Office @MSO or POWDML::ETHICSOFFICE.  There is also an Ethics Helpline 
   at DTN 223-4636 (outside, dial 508-493-4636).
         Currently, employees can access the complete Code of Business 
   Conduct on line by typing VTX POLICY at the system ($) prompt.

                       FOR DIGITAL INTERNAL USE ONLY

	the comic strip, B.C., describes the Internet in a way that I believe can also apply to notes conferences: "the potbelly stove of the '90s"
4035.3	Come again.........	VYGER::BEVERIDGEG		`Wed Aug 16 1995 06:32`	10
	Does anyone know what "insufficient privilege or file protection violation" means??? This is the message I got when I tried to open the ETHICS conference this morning. Is it on-line yet? Cheers, Gavin......
4035.4	Ethics Training Already Started :-)	HLDE01::VUURBOOM_R	Roelof Vuurboom @ APD, DTN 829 4066	`Wed Aug 16 1995 06:39`	7
	> Does anyone know what "insufficient privilege or file protection > violation" means??? Yes, it means that you're being taught a lesson in the ethics of privacy :^)

	re.4 Well cheers buddy. You really answered my questions thoroughly. I'll know in future not to seek any friendly advice from you. I don't think I was asking for too much. Feel free to correct me. Gavin_really_confused
4035.6	Hey Gavin, there really WAS a :-) in .4 ...	DRDAN::KALIKOW	W3: Surf-it 2 Surfeit!	`Wed Aug 16 1995 07:39`	19
	... which, added to Roelof's delightful NotesPersona, adds up to a 100%-in-fun intention for his .4 ... Lighten up, friend, what he (and now I) am saying is that the long-awaited deb�t of POWDML::ETHICS is still some time in the future. Its proprietors HAVE created it, as promised, but are doubtless still "arranging the furniture" therein until they deem it ready to Receive Visitors. When they're set, Notes> Open POWDML::ETHICS will work. Curiously enough, I too am doing just that these daze, with a more public (outside-the-firewall) version of a descendant of DECnotes. The server is up, but the door is still closed while I doll things up. So I know what the POWDML::ETHICS folks are doing, at least in principle -- it's just that I'm doing it on the Web, in multimedia. (-:Pardon the infomercial:-)
