We are also concerned with the "Lake Woebegone" effect in that every board thinks their CEO is above average. Since all CEOs are above average every year, the average keeps rising.

I would very much appreciate your feedback on draft guidelines we have posted at http://proxyexchange.org/2011/05/request-for-comments-say-on-pay/

If you post your comments in the "Leave a Reply" box we will consider them next week when we meet near Boston. Thanks.

Hopefully, efforts like shareowners.org, Investor Suffrage Movement & Proxy Democracy, will really help retail shareowners and beneficial owners to get involved. I hope you will help spread the word through Natural Logic and elsewhere.

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.

See http://www.corpgov.net/news/news.html#BlankVotes Your involvement could really help move the initiative forward.
