The EVOKE Network is feeling the need for a statement about its values, and since it is a self-reliant community, it has quickly solved its own need. Here is a code of ethics being created by Agents:

One Game May Hide Another
Posted by Calida DeBello on 18 Mar under People and Ideas
Kenneth Koch saw a sign in Kenya at a rail crossing: “Warning: One Train May Hide Another.” He wrote a poem about it, and mentioned many of the occasions when you focus on one thing and thus are oblivious to the larger thing bearing down on you.
