Subject: SEC rules encouraging Shareholder Forum programs

 
The SEC has published its final rules for the regulatory action reported in November 2007 "to facilitate communication and thereby encourage the creation of, and participation in, electronic shareholder forums."  The full release, including rule revisions and explanations, can be found on the SEC web site or downloaded from the Forum web site from the following link:
 
 
An initial reading of the SEC release confirms assumptions that the rule amendments will not require any modification of the conditions according to which we've been conducting our Forum programs.  But the SEC encouragement of these activities should certainly stimulate our fresh thinking about how Forum programs might be improved to better serve the marketplace.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions about the SEC rules, or any advice to guide the officially endorsed development of Forum programs.
