It has become obvious that corporation need more independent directors at the 
realm.  A mixture of how these directors are nominated can only give smaller 
investors more power.  There should also be very clear directive of what 
constitutes an independent director.  I think that directors should also be 
under the age of 72.

 

I also think it is outrageous that current and former politicians and their 
family members are allowed to sit on BOD of corporations that do business with 
the government.
