    The SEC proposed deleting Rule 14a-8 — the rule that makes a company print a shareholder's question on its own ballot. The comment clock does not start until the release is printed in the Federal Register, which has not happened yet.

    On September 16 the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed to rescind Rule 14a-8, the shareholder proposal rule, saying it 'exceeds the scope of the Commission's statutory authority and intrudes into matters of state law.' Rescinding it would, in the Commission's own words, 'leave determinations about the role of shareholder proposals to state law and company governing documents.' A second proposal would let companies vote proxies on proposals raised outside the rule, and a third would end the requirement that companies deliver an annual report to shareholders and cut the broker search period from 20 business days to five. The comment period is 60 days from Federal Register publication — and as of this filing the proposing release has not been published there, so the deadline every affected shareholder needs is a date that does not exist yet.
