§4 disclosure continuity — SC directive line

§4 disclosure must be kept current; stale §4(1)(b) pages do not satisfy the continuing-obligation standard.

Proactive disclosure under §4 must be kept current — stale 'last updated 2015' pages do not satisfy §4(2).

§4(1)(b) mandates 17 categories of proactive disclosure; §4(2) creates a continuing obligation. A disclosure page last updated years earlier — showing old budgets, old officer lists — does not discharge the duty. Up-to-date publication is essential.
