I hope you will also consider sending a comment to the SEC supporting our petition to prevent blank votes by retail shareowners from automatically turning into votes for management. No, it is not the same as broker voting. Broker voting is when no proxy is delivered. The blank vote issue is when a shareowner votes at least one item but leaves others blank... all the blanks go to management.
See http://www.corpgov.net/news/news.html#BlankVotes Your involvement could really help move the initiative forward. I'd like to ensure it is at least on the table with the proxy “plumbing” issues.
Glad to see that you have joined up-- ultimately the goal is to get retail investors on line to promote their education and involvement. Please get the word out about shareowners and think about ways that this site can promote the goals of your organization and feel free (please) to consider blogging on the great work you are doing.
