Code of Ethics Policy
Policy Text
4. Code of Ethics Policy
Covered persons shall act with integrity, candor, respect, independent judgment, stewardship, and commitment to public trust. Expectations apply to governance, endorsements, finances, communications, records, technology/AI, and public engagement. Allegations are not findings; review requires notice where appropriate, an opportunity to respond, disinterested reviewers, confidentiality appropriate to the matter, and a documented outcome. Good-faith reporting is protected from retaliation; knowingly malicious or fabricated allegations are not protected. Founder protections are not immunity, and accountability procedures may not be manipulated to circumvent protected authority.
