Comments to the SEC re Mutual Funds as Issuers within Scope of "Facilitating Shareholder Director Nominations" Rule

See below for a brief excerpt from my comment letter to the SEC concerning the proposed rule to give shareholders access to the proxy for the nomination of directors.

Jennifer, good to see you participating here. Hopefully, efforts like shareowners.org, VoterMedia.org, Investor Suffrage Movement TransparentDemocracy, & Proxy Democracy, will really help retail shareowners and beneficial owners to get involved. I hope you will help spread the word.

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.

Please also keep http://www.corpgov.net/news/news.html in mind when you have a quick commentary on corporate governance, especially your latest research.
