Washington, DC 20549-0609 Re: S7-10-03 Dear Commission, I believe that the practical lack of accountability of directors to shareholders is the most profound deficiency that the SEC could address today. As a matter of public policy, share holding is meant to replace the unitary credit/agency relationship that an institution such as bank provides in allocating capital efficienctly and safely with thousands of such agents--namely, equity investors. However, a shareholder's practical inability to control their director/agents negates much of a shareholder's oversight power. By opening the proxy to shareholder-nominated directors, this Commission would sign an emancipation proclamation, ending the enslavement of shareholders to management-controlled directors. Such a reform would constitute systemic reform of corporate behavior as historic as the establishment of the SEC itself. Please approve this revolutionary reform Sincerely, Bartlett Naylor Capital Strategies 703.786.7286
