Ethics Officers are not just appointed. They are trained.
A prospective Ethics Officer must star rate checkout on the two packs of Ethics Policies on Org Exec Course.
The Ethics Officer I/C breaks in a new Ethics Officer by having him do leg work. He goes throughout the Org checking points that must be decided from incoming admin. He makes investigations. He acts with the Ethics Officer hearing all people who come to the desk. The Ethics Officer I/C filters out the light admin, i.e., upgradings and passes it on to the Ethics Officer, increasing the amount of admin until the new Ethics Officer can rapidly handle a full basket.
New Ethics Officers should sit frequently on Boards of Investigation and Comm Evs.
Ethics Officers should realize that they deal mainly in entheta; they listen to it and when it runs down put in Ethics.
An Ethics Officer should be fearless and relentlessly devoted to his task. His or her job deals in harsh realities. Do not be reasonable, Ever.
We are putting Ethics in on a planet. Each day someone else agrees.
