I was asked: "I was wondering about setting up a group for . . . , what do I need to do?"

I can set up the group for you (or you can do it).

Here are the 5 things I ask for.

  1. A short descriptive group name.
  2. A description for the group?


    Here are some generic descriptions:


    “For the unique Compliance, Legal and Ethical issues faced by the XXX Industry”
    “For the unique Compliance, Legal and Ethical issues associated with XXX”

    Descriptions are best when more detailed, such as:

    “Welcome to the Utilities and Energy Network:

    Key Industry Areas include: Electricity, natural gas, oil, nuclear energy, natural gas and oil pipelines and storage facilities, hydropower, energy transmission systems, coal, wind, solar energy ...

    Key Regulatory Areas include: FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission), PHMSA DOT (Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, Department of Transportation), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), Global energy regulations, emerging CO2 regulation ...”

  3. A welcome message, that explains/defines the purpose.

    The main reasons people do not post is because they feel like they may mess up in public or their opinions are not good enough. So Welcome notes should be inviting and positive, avoiding don’t do this or don’t do that.

  4. Then post 2 or 3 times over the first week to start the ball rolling.
  5. Then post another 2 or 3 times over the first month to keep the ball rolling.
