Hello - just to clarify my last meail:

I support the rights of shareholders to use the corporate proxy machine to propose changes in the rules on how board members are elected.

I would like to ask that you require disclosure of all relationships between compensation consultants and the companies whose executive pay packages they design.

Thanks,
Paul Bernardin
