        <ExplanationTxt>The Organization requires Board members to disclose annually all activities that may give rise to conflicts. In the normal course of business, management maintains an awareness of business transactions for conflicts of interest both when structuring transactions and during the transaction process. As such, the business environment supports disclosure prior to approving transactions so that appropriate steps can be taken as an ongoing monitoring step. By way of example, prior to Board or committe action on a contract or transaction ivolving a potential conflict of interest, a director, employee or committee member having a conflict of interest and who is in attendance at the meeting shall disclose all facts material to the conflict. In addition, both directors and employees of the Organization are aware of the Organization s position on conflict of interest.</ExplanationTxt>
