The Society sent a letter to welcome new SEC Chair Paul Atkins and highlight areas of particular interest to the Society as respects the Commission’s agenda, including—among other things—scaled disclosure, executive compensation disclosure requirements, the shareholder proposal process, proxy advisors, shareholder engagement, and proxy plumbing. The letter also reiterated the Society’s desire to advance the establishment of a Public Company Advisory Committee akin to the other SEC advisory committees, which the Society believes would enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the SEC’s rulemaking process.
