Hi Owen,

Right, we need a set of behavioral expectations to put in the welcome  
message that people get when they join. Also should be on a web page  
and we have a link in EVERY email that goes to the list of behavioral  
expectations and the consequences if they are not met.

If you have any pointers to good behavioral expectations that you have  
read, let me know.

Peace,
Dan
