Hi everyone,

It looks like we really have a stimulus bill.  It is probably fairly close to what we will see as the final package written into law. Let's talk about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Please cut and paste the following 10 questions, along with your answers and put them into a response on this site.

 

1. Have you already read the areas pertaining to your job responsibilities?


2. Have you read any of the extensive summaries available?


3. Do you plan to submit comments?


4. If the ECE provided a comment document would you accept or modify it and send it in?


5. Would you be willing to work with other ECE members to create a comment document?


6. Will this impact your company immediately?  Either by way of being a TARP recipient, a corporate action regarding a TARP recipient, clients or competitors who are going to be impacted.


7. Do you feel that the caps/limits put in place will significantly impact equity compensation?  Over the next 6 months?  Over the next 5 years? Permanently?


8. Do you agree that Caps/Limits on Executive Compensation will be an effective way to ensure better governance and/or corporate performance?


9. Does your company already have some form of "pay equity" or compensation limits in place?  If so, please provide a summary


10. If you could provide one major change t the package, what would it be?
