Dear Mr. Katz,

It is vitally important that minority shareholders have the power to 
elect thier board of directors.

Most investors pay close attention to the management team and watch 
how people are coming up the ladder.

Proxy rules like so many other regulations in the corporate climate 
need to be closely looked at and changed however need be to make 
honesty and integrity first and foremost.

Thank you,

Keith B. Maynard
