Subject: Corporate Board Members (s7-19-03)

Encourage you to put into effect the proposed rules that would enable major 
shareholders to be more active in the proxy process.  The present system for 
selecting corporate board members is 100 years out-of-date!
 
Ultimately would like to see see all shareholders vote on a short list of board 
candidates based on their vitae, much as is done in selection of board members 
for a university.  The major shareholders need to be able to put forward 50% of 
the candidates on the short list.
 
Further, those who are honest, wise, and experienced and would like to serve 
on corporate boards need to be identified on the web in a "national identify 
list", one web page per candidate.
