Global Stock Plans Guidance

EVERY SINGLE ECE MEMBER SHOULD DOWNLOAD THIS DOCUMENT.

This is a great beginning for any who deals with global equity.  It takes some commitment to go through the document and make comments, but perhaps we can create a few discussions on pertinent issues.

That way people can focus on specific sections and get through the document a bit at a time.

Any one interested in getting involved?

I'd be glad to help out.  Please just let me know.

Thanks Taeho

Comments are due in the next couple of days.  The document is long.

Perhaps you can download the doc and list the pertinent areas.  Basically a table of Contents so ECE members can see what is included and determine if they can jump on anything right away.
