"In addition, all members, at all levels, of any involvement in the vetting process may not have received funds, employment, special access or privileges from any petitioner or related interests on issues for which they shall vote. Furthermore, no voting member shall have any ties, either familial or financial, to any petitioner, at any time in the past, present or future. If said tie lies within the unknown future, severe penalties must be enforced upon their eventuality, to dissuade such conduct."
