this letter.

               We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have
the following
       comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with

       better understand your disclosure.

   1.                                                   Please disclose the
current voting power of the Class A common stock holders.
       Prospectus Summary, page 1

   2.                                                   Please clarify whether
the process of designating shares as Stockholder Party Excluded
                                                        Shares only applies to
Class A or Class B acquired in the future or to existing holdings
                                                        currently subject to
the Voting Agreement.
   3.                                                   Please clarify whether
the Stockholder Party Excluded Shares could be Corporation
                                                        Equity Securities that
the Founders currently own or only securities they acquire in the
                                                        future. Please add a
column to the table on pages 9-10 that shows the approximate
                                                        ownership threshold
percentage of the total amount of securities outstanding as this
                                                        disclosure is material
to understanding how small these amounts are compared to your
                                                        total equity.

4.       Please disclose that you are employing a novel capital structure with
three classes of
         common stock and that your capital structure is novel because it
permits your Founders to
         maintain a controlling interest in the Company even if they
significantly decrease their
         economic stake in the Company. Further, clarify why the Company has
chosen this novel
         and complex    tri- capital    structure. In this regard, we note your
statement at the bottom
         of page 8 that the multi-class structure was employed to provide
stability in the
         composition of the Board and to maintain your existing founder control
structure which
         could presumably have been accomplished using a traditional dual class
structure.
Risk Factors, page 17

5.       Please add a separate risk factor that specifically illustrates the
risk that if the company
         issues additional Class A common stock in the future, Class A common
stockholders will
         have their voting power diluted to a greater extent than the Founders
  as a result of the
         Class F common shares. Please disclose that it may be very difficult
for the Class A
         common stock holders to ever determine their voting power because of
the unique features
         of your capital structure, in particular the variable voting rights of
the Class F and the
         ability of the Founders to unilaterally adjust their total voting
power through the process
         of designating shares as Stockholder Party Excluded Shares.

The Ownership Threshold that must be met on any applicable record date..., page

6.       Please revise this risk factor to disclose that the definition of
Corporation Equity
         Securities    is very broad and the Company could potentially take
steps in the future to
         effectively decrease the Ownership Threshold. For example, we note the
potential for the
         creation of a new class of non-voting equity security that could
qualify as Corporation
         Equity Security and count towards the Ownership Threshold if held by
the Founders
         which would further increase the divergence between their economic
power and voting
         power.
Description of Capital Stock, page 215

7.       We note your amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provides for permitted
         transfer of your Class B common stock that do not result in the
automatic conversion of
         these shares into Class A common stock. Please clarify and include
additional disclosure
         to the extent that these transfers could have any intended or
unintended consequences
         different than in a typical dual class structure.
Plan of Distribution, page 239

8.       Please disclose that the Founders will not be involved in the DMM   s
process to establish
         the opening public price, including any decision regarding the timing
of the opening trade.
9.       Please revise to disclose that the Company and the financial advisors
will conduct their
         activities consistent with the requirements of Regulation M.
