Congratulations to the rulemaking team from the Division of Corporation Finance, as well as the staff within the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis and the Office of the General Counsel. This rulemaking has been several years in the making,[1] and I am glad that we are here today to finalize it.
Date 17/11/2021
I cannot support today’s proposal. The Commission lacks a sound basis for seeking to amend a brand new rule. Nothing has changed since we adopted the rule, and we have not learned anything new. The release takes a stab at justifying the rewrite, but we might as well simply acknowledge that the political winds have shifted.

The U.S. payment system is experiencing a technology-driven revolution. Shifting consumer preferences and the introduction of new products and services from a wide variety of new entities have led to advancements in payments technology. This dynamic landscape has also sparked an active policy debate—about the risks these new developments pose, how regulators should address them, and whether the government should offer an alternative of its own.

I support universal proxy, but not today’s version of universal proxy.

Good morning.
Thank you to the staff who worked on this rulemaking.
I support adopting this rule. I see no compelling reason to prevent shareholders from mixing and matching their votes between a management and dissident slate, given that shareholders who attend meetings are already able to vote in this way.
Date 17/11/2021
Proxy advisors play a unique and important role in helping shareholders vote to protect their investments and ensure their interests are being served. It is therefore important that our rules do not interfere with the independence of proxy voting advice, introduce unnecessary cost and complexity into an already compressed proxy voting process, or otherwise burden the free and full exercise of shareholder voting rights. For this reason, I’m pleased that we are revisiting certain aspects of the amendments governing proxy voting advice adopted last year so that our rules are appropriately tailored to the needs of investors and other market participants.
