* 5. What do you believe is the role of ASLIA in monitoring the Social Media presence of its members?

Note "Enforceable" means that members found to be in breach of the policy may suffer consequences such as suspension of membership or complaints forwarded to NAATI about inappropriate social media use.

ASLIA should have an enforceable policy on the appropriate use of Social Media for its members.

ASLIA should provide a guideline on the appropriate use of Social Media for its members, but it should not be enforceable.

ASLIA should not have any policy or guideline on appropriate use of Social Media for its members, but ASLIA should liaise with booking agencies about their policies for the appropriate use of social media for interpreters.

ASLIA should not be involved in any policy or guideline discussions on appropriate use of Social Media.
