Dear Secretary Katz,

Re: File No. S7-19-03

I am writing to offer supporting comments on SEC proposal
S7-19-03 re security holder director nominations. 

The reforms put forward by the SEC have the potential to put an
end to abuses of shareholder interest by boards of directors.
However, as proposed, the rules include high ownership
thresholds and a cumbersome two-year process, which would make
them difficult for investors to actually use. 

I urge the SEC to reject the overly constraining barriers and to
adopt final rules that truly will give shareholders a voice in
picking directors at America's largest corporations.

Corporate reform is one of the most important issues before us
today.


Sincerely,

Chris Nelson
