"Actics is about turning ethics into action through feedback from those your ethics concern.
From its very conception Actics was meant to:
1. Make ethics concrete
2. Help agents navigate between demands from multiple different stakeholders.
3. Measure agents against their own values instead of detached universal codes and thus making general benchmarking meaningful."

Actics.com has an attractive interface and is easy to navigate. All sections are clearly marked and easy to find. Members' profiles are organized and very clear. There is no clutter on the site or profiles so you can easily see all of the content. It is a good idea to feature the top ten value creators and endorsed actions so that other members can get ideas of how to practice their ethics. It is always refreshing to see a site focused on promoting positive, proactive behavior.
Actics.com has a nominees section that is not currently available. What will the nominees section feature? Actics.com could include groups that members could create focused on certain ethics or actions. In fact members should be able to collaborate on creating organizations or ideas that they could realize offline together.
