It might be relevant to point out that the Delegates, at the suggestion of
the ethics committee, added the following to paragraph 3 of the ethics code
during the August 2004 business meetings:
"This code shall not apply to actions or behavior of employees of the USCF
acting in the scope of their duties. Such actions fall instead under the
province of the Executive Board."
(The above is inserted immediately after "representatives of the USCF".)
This change was prompted by concerns, by members of the ethics committee,
that a number of complaints against senior USCF employees were being brought
before the ethics committee which should instead be brought before the EB.
