Ethical Marketplace — Generate a curated list of toolkits, checklists and case studies across industries and domains. Develop a categorization system so that others may find a tool that they need for their project.
Ethical Marketplace subgroups: Create volunteer committees of domain experts in the following: Civic Tech, Government Tech, Education/Academia, Private Industry, Social Scientists, and the Public.
Literature Review - This working group will summarize new articles, blogs and other papers that are posted in our #ethics slack channel.
Git and Github - Document, process, support and create structures for cataloguing the output of the ethical marketplace. Focus on transparency and accessibility process and all things, especially leveraging repos and public facing pages/sites.
Welcome Committee -- develop onboarding process in slack and seek in-person events to welcome, recruit and support community-wide ethical practices and behaviors.

Research and Ethics — This working group will develop machine learning tools that assess and identify opportunities to include ethical thinking in algorithmic thinking and seek partnerships with institutions bushing the boundaries of machine learning. Essentially, can we ask ourselves how to use algorithms to assess other algorithms for bias, fairness, inclusion?
