        <Explanation>Board members meet annually with the Forum's Legal Counsel to review the conflict of interest policy and code of ethics. Members acknowledge that they have been informed and understand the policy, have received a copy and affirm in writing their agreement to comply with the policy. Procedures are outlined in which conflicts of interest or questions related to breaches in the code of ethics can be reviewed for determination of applicability and\or appropriate action.

The identification of any such conflicts are considered in accordance with the policy and documented. Contractual relationships with third parties and expense reimbursement procedures and guidelines will be reviewed in the subsequent fiscal year to assess conformance with the adopted policy.</Explanation>
