Talk:Arek'Jaalan: Ethics

EC Stances and coverage of ongoing affairs

This section is intended to cover the Ethics Committee's official and discussed stances on controversial affairs and decisions, serving as a source of information to see whats already been discussed and where further input is necessary. That input can, among other methods, also be provided right here in the discussion section.

• Project Macaper's Eye

Myxx' Project to acquire and research Aurora Ominae doomsday devices has caused a stir when it was announced, due to the risks involved in the research itself, as well as its possible conclusions, findings, and their respective potential for abuse.

After several minor discussion sessions on the issue, EC found the project not to breach any EC or ethical guidelines, due to the fact that the device can't be used in empire space.

Several members protested the pass, but were accused of bias against Myxx rather than honest doubts on the ethical nature of the project as their main motivator.

Conclusion: EC supports the unimpeded continuation of Project Macaper's Eye.

• Nation Declaration of Hostility

Regarding the issue described in detail on the SEC division discussion page here, EC has not yet had any major discussion on the matter regarding Drake Arson's presumed open declaration of hostility towards AJ by confirming support of SlaveEndoma01 in Madirmilire. Investigation on the issue is still ongoing.

Until such time as investigation is complete, the above proven true, or hostile action taken against AJ by Nation loyalists, no exclusions from the project are to be considered, and no privileges to be revoked.

Status: Unresolved, pending investigation completion

• Exclusion of Julianus Soter

Regarding the issue evolving around Julianus Soter that was raised by SEC lead Guthris, no clear decision has been made yet by either EC or SEC. Guthris accused Mr. Soter of being a threat to the Arek'Jaalan project, after he declared he would fire upon any Nation supporters within AJ fleets, and wouldn't let them join AJ fleets hosted by Moira.

He later rescinded these claims and up to this day no hostile action has been taken by either Mr. Soter or Moira. against any members of AJ.

EC is split on this issue, some in strong favor of Guthris intention to remove Mr. Soter from either the project as a whole, or "just" barring him as SEC lead, while others don't see any reason to act on his threats yet, considering no action has been taken yet, other than words that have been taken back in the meantime.

It is at this point a question of sticking with the regulation of reacting reactively, or taking preemtive action to minimize risk to the project.

Status: Evaluation ongoing
