What you need is an Acceptable Use Policy Statement. Here is a link with
many examples...
http://www.avana.net/~jtruitt/ferret/auplinks.html
You might also consider developing an information security policy that
specifically states the things that are absolutely forbidden (port scanning,
mp3's or other huge bandwidth hogs, adult material, ethnic slander, etc.
Some of the examples at the above link have this information contained
within the Acceptable use statement, but others have seperated them. One
reason to do so is that the Acceptable Use policy statement usually is owned
(and enforced) by Human Resources, while the Information Security policy is
owned by IS. The Acceptable Use policy points to the IS policy, allowing HR
to enforce what you put in your policy statement, but you retain full
control over the contents of the IS policy and can amend it as you see fit.
I hope this helps (I just finished one for a client of mine).
