I think simply having a live disclosure page would be sufficient. No need for inserting a link. > - How is the provided information maintained to prevent staleness when, > e.g. a subscriber changes job, accepts a new consulting gig, gets > elected to a board somewhere? In the ICANN world the expectation is an annual update, unless actual changes have occurred. WG group members generally are very responsible about updating. I suppose you can find a way to disable posting privileges if not updated every 12 months. Practical implementation is best left to staff. > - (Most stickily) to what extent is the provided disclosure verified, > and by whom?

Agreed - this is where your recommendation to the WG to ignore provocation from posters is useful, as well as guidance to the chairs to consider inputs more carefully when a clear SOI does not indicate a link between a poster’s affiliation and the assertions they make. For example - a poster making assertions about the difficulty of administering an abuse contact, yet the poster’s SOI does not incite any actual role in administering a network would signal that they may simply be a paid and undisclosed shill. They could be asked to update their SOI or have posting privileges removed. > - Probably others...
