  We report the results of our NSF-funded project in which we alpha- and beta-
tested a survey comprising all aspects of the ethical practice standards from
two disciplines with relevance to mathematics, the American Statistical
Association (ASA) and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). Items were
modified so that text such as "A computing professional should..." became, "The
ethical mathematics practitioner...". We also removed elements that were
duplicates or were deemed unlikely to be considered relevant to mathematical
practice even after modification. Starting with more than 100 items, plus 10
demographic questions, the final survey included 52 items (plus demographics),
and 142 individuals responded to our invitations (through listservs and other
widespread emails and announcements) to participate in this 30-minute survey.
This white paper reports the project methods and findings regarding the
community perspective on the 52 items, specifically, which rise to the level of
ethical obligations, which do not meet this level, and what is missing from
this list of elements of ethical mathematical practice. The results suggest
that the community of mathematicians perceives a much wider range of behaviors
to be subject to ethical practice standards than is currently represented.
