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 Ken Stubbs Philip Sheppard wrote:
Bruce, I support the principle here but wonder if it is more practical to have the period at TWO years - to coincide with term of office. That way a newly elected council member simply makes the statement upon election (the staff can chase for this). If there is a change for that member, they make a new statement.

So amended motion would be: (Blue CAPS show changes)
"That the GNSO approves the following statement of interest policy:
(1) UPON ELECTION a Council member OR A liaison to the GNSO Council, WILL provide a standing statement for publication setting forth all business and other affiliations which relate in any way to the business
and other affiliations of the ICANN legal entity. THAT STATEMENT WILL BE REVISED TO REFLECT ANY MATERIAL CHANGE AT THE TIME OF SUCH CHANGE DURING THE MEMBER'S TERM OF OFFICE.
(2) With respect to any particular matter then pending before the Council, each Council member should disclose any relationship or other factor that could reasonably be considered to cause the member to be
considered to have a material Financial Interest (as defined in the ICANN Board's Conflict of Interest policy), or who serves as a Director or Officer of any entity with which the ICANN legal entity has a transaction, contract, or other arrangement."
