 This proposal appears to do very little in protecting me the retail investor.  Information notifying the investor about who is actually borrowing and lending shares would be great. When shares are lent out, the purposes is rarely to benefit or advanced the prospects of the underlying. If you could get rid of \"Onward Lending\" it may help clean up the problem of over representation in corporate voting as well eliminate a source of phantom shares.
