The ten very simple questions are all Yes/No, so you ought to be able to fill it out quickly. (I assume your e-mail address will identify the organization your with, if not please include it in your response). I know these types of surveys have been done before, are a drag to do, and that I could include a lot more questions. However, I am looking for some basic information to provide my County Board Of Commissioners to help us with our policy discussions. So here goes... 1. Does you organization have (or are developing) a formal policy relating to "social networking tools/sites" (y/n) ? YES 2. Is your organization ignoring the "social networking world" for now (y/n) ? NO If you have a policy, does your policy include... 3. a "code of conduct" or something similar for official (sponsored) social networking sites (y/n)? YES 4. a records retention component (y/n)? YES 5. procedures to protect youth (if you have a youth site) (y/n/na)? NO 6. a "code of conduct" for employees when participating on social networking sites as private citizens (y/n) ? NO Does you organization allow employees (as official representatives of your organization) to... 7. participate in professional social networking sites (LinkedIn, wiki's, Twitter, etc) (y/n)? YES 8. create social network sites for dissemination of information such as (facebook, twitter, Youtube) (y/n)? YES 9. create social network sites to foster interactive communication with the public (y/n)? YES AND NO 10. create social network sites to foster communication with youth(y/n)? YES AND NO I would be happy to share the results with the group when I am done. I have also collected a lot of policy statements/guidelines and would be happy to share that as well. Finally, if you have a policy and are willing to share could you please e-mail it to me? OUR POLICIES ARE STILL IN DRAFT MODE. WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THEM WHEN THEY ARE COMPLETE, HOPEFULLY AROUND MID MARCH.
