To Whom It May Concern:

While this proposed rule doesn’t go far enough, it is a step in the right 
direction. When I discovered how boards are filled I managed to understand how 
can Enron, Tyco, Adelphia, Qwest, MCI and the others happen. Given that we 
can’t send these frauds to jail for working against the investors’ best 
interest, perhaps we should start moving towards a world where there is real 
accountability. That way we can have those “directors” who are more concerned 
with making themselves rich leave (or be fired) and bring back some 
accountability to the board room.
