From: ronabrams [ronabrams@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 9:27 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Rules proposals for nominees to BOD Dear SEC, I am an individual shareholder and I support any rules changes that make it easier for individuals like myself to have a greater say in the nomination of persons toa corporate BOD. Although, I think you’re proposed changes don’t go nearly far enough, but maybe starting somewhere will help bring about changes to one of the most undemocratic, un-American institutions in America: BOD of American corporations. Respectfully, Ronald Abrams
