At the CyberSafety conference we identified the need for churches to have Acceptable, or Responsible, Use Policies for the Internet and other electronic resources.
Most AUPs address the following: appropriate Email use, cyber-bullying prohibition, illegal use provision, no expectation of privacy, signature sheet, prohibition against unauthorized software, password policies, and copyrighted material concerns.
Some sample policies can be found at the locations below.
Wesley United Methodist Church
Safe Families
Fair Haven UMC
Diocese of Austin
What do you think? What components are important for an AUP?

Paul,
thank you for sharing these acceptable use policies. It is a
help. I will review and provide some additional input.
