Dear all,
I intend to start my contribution by looking into fundamental issues about Codes of Ethics, like getting an overview of definitions, recommendations, do's and don'ts. I'll post the results on the blog as soon as I can, we'll see.!

Draft of Work Plan
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for your patience as we allowed time for people to volunteer for this very important working group-- to develop a professional code of ethics for health promotion!
We are a rather small working group, just five people, but we have a very good geographic spread. We are Nithat in Thailand, Elisha in Australia, Gabrielle and Torill in Norway and me (Hope) in the US. I have also found out that we have some colleagues in Israel who are also working toward this end. I have emailed one of the women involved with the project and await to hear her response. Perhaps, we can join up with what they are doing.
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you my initial thoughts on how we can proceed. But first, I want to let you know that we have a couple of tools at our disposal to help us with our work. One, Torill has set up a blog for us which I think will be a good way to communicate. The address is http://www.hpethics.blogspot.com/. (You will see a copy of this email there). Second, we will be the first stream for Views on Health Promotion Online (VHPO), the new electronic journal of the IUHPE. Torill will be the stream manager. It should be up and running soon!
This is my first though on how we can plan to work over the next several months.
1. Jan: group members research relevant reading
2. Feb and Mar: divide reading between members, each has the
responsibility to read and write a summary for the rest of us (summaries will be published on VHPO)
3. Apr: Identify other codes of ethics and distribute among members
4. May: Compare other professional codes of ethics to the Ottawa
Charter, Bangkok Charter and other key sources of HP guidance.
5. June and July: Draft code of ethics
6. August: Publish in P & E
7. Sept: Present in Turin and other global forums
How does this plan look to you? Do you see any other work that should be done that I have neglected? How do you think we should divide up the literature search between us?
Thanks so much for your desire to contribute to this project. I think it is going to be an incredible contribution to the field of health promotion and it really gives us all an opportunity to reflect on our work in an exciting way. Not to mention the fact that we will be doing a LOT publishing of our work and results along the way.
Best,
Hope
