Prof. Drew Endy, who runs the biobrick group at MIT, has been interested in the ethics of biobricks (mostly focused on risk). People involved are in the process of self-regulating themselves, as happened 30 years ago at Asilomar.
On Friday 21 April 2006, the MIT synthetic biology working group hosted a town hall meeting to discuss a set of self-governance declarations proposed in a white paper by Stephen Maurer and colleagues from UC Berkeley:
Maurer, Stephen M., Keith V. Lucas, and Starr Terrell. "From Understanding to Action: Community-Based Options for Improving Safety and Security in Synthetic Biology." (PDF - 1.1 MB)#
The goal of the MIT town hall meeting was to discuss and improve, remove, or replace the declarations in the white paper. Any declarations left standing were considered for future discussion, debate, and ratification at the May 2006 SB2.0, the Second International Conference on Synthetic Biology.
