File:IEEE's Involvement in Ethics and Gaps Needing Fixed.docx

My article, presents an historical overview of IEEE's involvement in Codes of Ethics, ethics discipline, ethics advice and ethical support. It will form one input to a newly formed Task Force appointed by the Technical Activities Board, TAB, at its November 2015 meeting, for the Society on the Social Implications of Technology, the SSIT, to form a Task Force looking into IEEE's involvement in ethics and gaps needing fixed.

A companion paper of mine, presents a POSITION STATEMENT, about IEEE's restriction preventing its Ethics and Member Conduct Committee, the EMCC, from getting involved in employee-employer ethics disputes. This restriction is invalid, in my opinion, shown how in the paper, and needs to be overturned to enable the EMCC perform both intended missions; Member Discipline and Ethical Support.
