To the SEC: 


Thank you for the ability to comment on the SEC's proposed changes to the whistleblower rules.  


I have previously submitted a whistleblower TCR to the SEC.  That whistleblower TCR was submitted under the existing rules which allow information from multiple public sources when that information points to a conclusion that is "not generally known".   


Please do not make the new language of "bridging the gap" retroactive to the existing TCRs.  "Bridging the gap" is different from "not generally known".  At the very least, search the existing TCRs for the term "not generally known" to discover which TCRs have relied on the "not generally known" standard. 


Thank you,
