According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, the ePhilanthropy Foundation has created a code of ethics to guide nonprofits’ behavior on the internet. This follows some bad behaviors especially of Holden Karnofsky as exec director of GiveWell!

Huh? ePhilanthropy's code requires groups to "employ practices on the Web site that exhibit integrity, honesty and truthfulness and seek to safeguard the public trust".

Excuse me but aren't these the very same values that are part and parcel of being a nonprofit -- sort of the meaning of fiduciary responsibility? These aren't special, these are the essences of being nonprofit -- failure to observe these practices should result in going out of business -- no codes needed, thank you very much.
