From: RonM@FlexSolPackaging.com Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 8:20 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-19-03 I agree with the SEC proposal that investors representing 5% or more of company shares be able to place one or two director candidates on the company proxy ballot sent to all shareholders alongside management's nominees. But this should not require a "triggering event". Since shareholders are owners of the company they should have the rights of owners and not be left to the will or whims of the incumbent directors and management. Ronald D.
