- New SEC proposed disclosure regarding shareowner nominations

If so, what to use as a criteria?)

- Non-GAAP issues - Especially company executive speaking in various
venues, using slides,
- Whistleblower procedures- Use 3rd party or do it in house?
- Form 8-K item 12 - Furnish of file with SEC.
- Governance Ratings.
- Disclosure controls and procedures.
- Final NYSE and/or NASDAQ governance rules, if adopted by then.
