discus developed a set of voluntary guidelines that they suggest the spirits industry and council members follow. the code provides for a review board to review complaints about advertising and marketing materials in the marketplace. in 2003, discus began issuing semi-annual public reports describing the review board complaints and decisions. as of march 2013, discus has posted some "pre-publication" results on its website to show preliminary drafts of the content in its reports prior to publication of a final semi-annual code-of-conduct action report. (as of october 2016, the most recent semi-annual report on the discus website was for a period that ended more than six years earlier.)
