Taylor Subject: Increasing Proxy Access I understand that you are considering how/whether to allow shareholders to elect our own representatives to boards of directors. I believe that this would be a wonderful way to ensure greater participation and fuller disclosure as there would be more transparency if such a procedure would be implemented. As a small investor, who is concerned about excessive rewards for poor results, I would like to have the opportunity to know the names of the director candidates nominated by shareholders. Thank you. - Larry R. Taylor
