Good evening, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to respectfully share my thoughts on one of your Proposed Rules. The proposed rule updates to the Internet Advise Exemption make a lot of sense in today’s digital age. The way people seek investment advice has changed significantly, and most of us rely on the Internet for information and services. Requiring internet investment advisers to maintain an operational website all the time aligns with the reality of how they connect with clients. It ensures that clients can access the advice and information they need whenever they want, which is essential in the digital era. Getting rid of the exception that allowed some advisers to have very few non-internet clients also seems fair and logical. If advisers are primarily using the Internet to provide services, it’s reasonable that they focus on that aspect without too many exceptions. These changes look like they are meant to keep the rules in line with how things work today, and that can be a good thing for everyone involved. It helps investors get the best service in the digital age. I appreciate your time in considering my comment, and I eagerly await your thoughts on this matter. Sincerely, Andrés G
