To anyone who wants to draft such rules, I suggest to have a look at the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct first. Not being an ACM-member myself, I still tell my clients that these are the rules they can expect me to follow.

See Rules as _observed_ sensible behaviour.

Thus rules can be guidelines to successfull
