 I am in support of the proposed rule in its entirety. I believe orders should be held within public auction before being internalized through any market maker in order to facilitate a fair and free market.

It is within large players incentive (other unnamed financial companies that may have also released public comments on this rule) to indefinitely postpone this proposal. The current state of affairs gives a minority group an overly competitive advantage over the free market, and thus, I recommend keeping this in mind when evaluating the overall affect of this rule and the unstated biases included in the reactions.

As an individual retail investor, I believe this rule change is in my favor.

Thank you for making a difference.
