Gary, I am in the UK as well :)

The project would have to be broken down with legalities and censorship as a seperate portion of the overall document. If the general policy succeeded in the UK, others can easily adopt it; however, at the moment its all just ideas in the air.

Spambam note taken, thanks.

I’m in the UK. There are also bloggers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I understand there are even a few bloggers in the U.S. :-)

Your idea of covering legalities (and probably censorship) is going to be a huge undertaking to cover even just the few different English-speaking territories… Frankly, I think it’s pointless. If you come up with a document which only documents/encourages US laws, the first thing I’ll do is laugh at it/you. Then I’ll get pissed that you think you can make me follow your laws. By then, you’ve lost any respect that you’ve started out with.

However… Policy doesn’t necessarily mean legality. It would probably be easier to to write and encourage some sort of “moral code”.

Interesting yes, but can you visualise it being utilised in a standard like ISO27001 (BS7799)? Thats really the question.

I’d say that one is definitely required and personally I think that it’d be very interesting to read.
