Dear Sirs,
I'd like to register my opposition on this proposed rule change as a concern of producing inequitable forces on a traded security. If this rule is adopted as written, the negative impact of freezing trading for some, but not all, traders is against the concept of a free and open market and would further go to denigrate the respected NYSE away from other domestic global exchanges.
Choosing to transact via the NYSE would become an activity overshadowed by this (in)ability at any time and creates a negative product differentiator between NYSE and alternative markets for both the individual trader and traded firms alike.
I recommend this proposed rule not to be adopted as it is inherently again the free market principles and the idea of a free market.
Thank you
