Re: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] Statement of Interest for Ross Rader

["David W. Maher" <dmaher@xxxxxxx>]

Maureen's and Ross's suggestions both have merit.
There should be a full report of any update of interest statement as 
soon as possible after an interest is known. In addition, there 
should be a mandatory quarterly update as a reminder to those who may 
have inadvertently overlooked an update.
