Abstract：
The 2012 Menlo Report was an effort in which a group of computer scientists, US government funders, and lawyers produced ethics guidelines for research in information and communications technology (ICT). Here we study Menlo as a case of what we call ethics governance in the making, finding that this process examines past controversies and enrols existing networks to connect the everyday practice of ethics with ethics as a form of governance. To create the Menlo Report, authors and funders relied on bricolage work with existing, available resources, which significantly shaped both the report\'s contents and impacts. Report authors were motivated by both forward- and backward-looking goals: enabling new data-sharing as well as addressing past controversies and their implications for the field\'s body of research. Authors also grappled with uncertainty about which ethical frameworks were appropriate and made the decision to classify much network data as human subjects data. Finally, the Menlo Report authors attempted to enrol multiple existing networks in governance through appeals to local research communities as well as taking steps towards federal rulemaking. The Menlo Report serves as a case study in how to study ethics governance in the making: with attention to resources, adaptation, and bricolage, and with a focus on both the uncertainties the process tries to repair, as well as the new uncertainties the process uncovers, which will become the site of future ethics work.
摘要：
2012年的Menlo报告是一群计算机科学家的努力，美国政府的资助者，律师为信息和通信技术（ICT）研究制定了道德准则。在这里，我们将门洛作为我们所谓的道德治理的案例进行研究，发现此过程检查了过去的争议，并吸收了现有的网络，以将日常的道德实践与道德作为一种治理形式联系起来。要创建Menlo报告，作者和资助者依靠现有的拼凑工作，可用资源,这显著影响了报告的内容和影响。报告作者受到前瞻性和前瞻性目标的激励：实现新的数据共享以及解决过去的争议及其对该领域研究机构的影响。作者还努力应对哪些道德框架是合适的不确定性，并决定将许多网络数据归类为人类受试者数据。最后,《门洛报告》的作者试图通过对当地研究社区的呼吁以及对联邦规则制定采取步骤来注册多个现有的治理网络。门洛报告作为如何研究道德治理的案例研究：关注资源，适应,和拼花，并且专注于过程试图修复的不确定性，以及该过程揭示的新的不确定性，这将成为未来道德工作的场所。
