To: rule-comments@sec.gov
Subject: File No. SR-NASD-2003-158


I hereby file my objection to the accelerated approval of the 5th amended filing by the NASD without public comment. As an arbitration practitioner and a former regulator I submit that such important changes to the procedural rules of NASD arbitration should be subject to public comment before any approval.
