How does AirBnB promote acting ethically amongst its rentals? There are many rentals that skirt their local laws and fail to procure the proper licensing for putting their property in AirBnB. Does AirBnB have any proactive measures in place to ensure all local rental licensing laws are complied with? Is it ethical to be willfully bind of this issue?

Airbnb encourages hosts to comply with their local laws and in a number of larger cities, promotes a regulatory scheme with the cities that requires licensing and even blocks listings that can't demonstrate compliance. There's no willful blindness here -- the challenge is that these are hard issues for localities to grapple with, it's a relatively new business platform and regulation has to catch up. I went through this when I was at eBay too, dealing with laws about what you could sell in a global internet auction marketplace -- there's a period of time where best practices about what regulations make the most sense get worked out, and a higher level of compliance gets achieved. Airbnb is working all over the world with cities to figure this out.

As someone who is virtually our only compliance person at a mid-size company, I often get questions for legal advice.

I feel as though it discredits me and my advice because I’m not an attorney. How can I better differentiate compliance from legal and still provide valuable advice?

Hi everyone, wanted to come back and talk about the work environment at the Washington Redskins/Football Club -- the Washington Post story was pretty jaw dropping. One troubling angle was the use of NDAs to stifle victims. NDAs have for too long enabled bad behavior to continue, and it's time companies pledged to stop using NDAs in settlements with victims -- the coverup is worse than the bad acts. I think Warren torpedoed Bloomberg's campaign due to his use of NDAs. Thoughts?
