Esteemed Committee:  
 
I believe mutual fund boards should have only one member that is affiliated with 
the fund or any of it's advisory firms. This person would be a conduit for the 
free flow of information between the fund and the board. The board should be free 
from fund management pressures which work against the best interest of the 
individual fund owners. The SEC proposal of 75% is at least a step in the right 
direction.  
 
Thank You
