From: Dan M Slack [dmslack@insightbb.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 11:23 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-10-03 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 dmslack@insightbb.com
