Dear Colleagues:
Almost exactly ten years ago, the AOIR ethics committee sent a note to this mailing list asking for the AOIR members to endorse a new statement on ethical decision-making. On behalf of the AIOR ethics committee, we are pleased to present Version 2.0 for your consideration.
You might remember that we provided a draft version of this document last year. After collecting comments and then discussing the document at the AOIR conference in Seattle, we revised to the final form. The Ethics Committee has approved this document. And the Executive Committee has endorsed it. Now, we ask for your endorsement as a membership.
The question we’d like you to answer is this:
"Should AoIR endorse the ethics committee's new statement on ethical decision-making as its statement of principles of Internet research ethics, with the understanding that this statement is open to future revisions in light of additional ethical insight and/or new technological developments?"
If you are a member of AOIR (and if you’re not, now’s a great time to consider joining!), please:
a) review the new document
http://www.aoir.org/documents/ethics-guidelines/ethics.pdf
and then
b) login to the members-only section of the AOIR website to vote on whether or not you would like AOIR membership to endorse it. https://aoir.org/welcomemembers/
Voting is now open, and will close midnight, November 26, Eastern Standard Time, 2012.
As always, we are grateful to the members of the ethics committee for their hard work, deliberation, and insight.
Best Regards,
Annette Markham, incoming chair of the AOIR Ethics Committee Elizabeth Buchanan, outgoing chair of the AOIR ethics committee Alex Halavais, President of AOIR
P.S. If you have questions, additional commentary, or copy-editing corrections for the document, we welcome it via email to amarkham@gmail.com
