Jonas, great to see your involvement in this new project. Hopefully, efforts like shareowners.org, Investor Suffrage Movement & Proxy Democracy, will really help retail shareowners and beneficial owners to get involved. I know you will help spread the word through Trillium Asset Management 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. I'd like to ensure it is at least on the table with the proxy “plumbing” issues.
