Some folks from the CIRMS group discussed below presented a paper at a recent seminar on Telework Risks and Liabilities. Within that paper was a sample Office Technology Policy. They have graciously allowed me to share it with you for your review and possible use. This is just another example of the wealth of information shared within this Yahoo! group beyond just the insurance and risk management discussions of community associations.
There are very few email newsletters I receive and even fewer online discussion groups I participate in. An internet discussion group is a group of people with similar interests who submit questions and comments via email that are redirected to everyone in the group for further discussion. One such group can be found at Yahoo! under the name "CIRMS." CIRMS is a discussion group for insurance and risk management issues for condos, coops, and planned communities.
While that is the focus of the group, the topics of discussion range far wider than this limited market. From specific CGL, construction defects, and additional insured and certificate issues to natural disaster remediation and legislation, I have found CIRMS to be an invaluable source of highly current, interesting, and valuable information.
It is easy to join and, if it's not your cup of tea, unsubscribe from this discussion group. If you're concerned about the email volume, unlike other discussion groups I've been a part of that bombard you with dozens of emails daily, this is a relatively small group and you can expect no more than a few emails a day, the vast majority being communications of great value.

Now, getting back to the point at hand, some folks from the CIRMS group presented a paper at a recent seminar on Telework Risks and Liabilities. Within that paper was a sample Office Technology Policy. This policy is specifically designed for community associations, but it can easily be adapted for your agency.
