Dear SEC,
 
I am a person who is an investor in the market, both directly and through 
retirement accounts.  In addition, I participate in a pension plan that 
invests in the stock market in an effort to generate returns sufficient to 
meet future pension payments.  I am also generally concerned about the 
disconnect between the owners of a corporation - the shareholders - and 
those entrusted to oversee management of the company for them - the board 
of directors.  In that regard, I am writing to comment on the proposed SEC 
rule that would increase the ability of shareholders to select corporate 
directors.  I support this opening up of the proxy ballot and encourage 
the SEC to adopt this rule.
 
Sincerely,
Dan M Slack
