Comment on SEC Draft Strategic Plan (File No. DSP-3) Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the SEC's Draft Strategic Plan. I welcome the Commission's focus on innovation, stakeholder engagement, compliance facilitation, and technology modernization. These priorities are essential to maintaining strong, competitive, and trusted capital markets. As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, organizations increasingly face challenges in understanding, implementing, and demonstrating compliance with their obligations. In my view, one of the most important opportunities for the future is improving the clarity, consistency, and operational usability of regulatory requirements. Regulations are most effective when they can be interpreted consistently and translated into practical compliance processes that organizations can implement with confidence. I also support the Commission's commitment to increasing engagement with stakeholders. Continued dialogue between regulators, businesses, academics, and technology innovators can help identify practical approaches that strengthen investor protection while reducing unnecessary compliance burdens. The Commission's emphasis on technology modernization is particularly important. Modern financial markets generate significant volumes of information, and market participants benefit when regulatory expectations are clear, accessible, and capable of supporting efficient compliance and reporting practices. I commend the Commission for seeking public input and encourage continued engagement with a broad range of stakeholders as the strategic plan is finalized.
