Re: [council] Notice of motion regarding statements of interest

[Ken Stubbs <kstubbs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow members

personally, i believe that it is important that members be required to 
submit this statement on an annual basis.. if there are any changes in 
the imterim , then it would be incumbent on the member to update their 
respective statement..
Annual statements are the generally accepted standard for most 
organizations who utilize them
