Subject: Investor Nomination to Corporate Board

As an individual investor who depends on my investments for my retirement, I 
would like to voice support your your proposed changes to make it easier 
(although only slightly) for share holders to put a nominee on corporate boards 
for election.
 
Thanks,
Robert B. Brainard
