We should talk about our mutual interests through shareowners and your coalitions. You may know John Wilcox who is a board member and has a strong interest in shareholder communications communications. I will follow up with an email.
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.
Please also keep http://www.corpgov.net/news/news.html in mind when you have a quick commentary on corporate governance that you would like to get out to those in the field.
