Subject: IN RE. S7-14-03--I Support the SEC's Proposed Rule on
Disclosure of Director Nominations.

Dear Commissioners:

I support your proposal to require corporations to disclose more
information about how directors are nominated. This is a positive
development.

These new rules are important.  I see, however, that this proposal is only
a first step toward opening up the corporate director nomination process,
bringing democracy to corporations.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Benard
