>     If the stock does extremely well between now and Christmas it could be

>     numbers, if I was starting in the plan this coming year end, I would

> 2. MY SUGGESTION IS, THAT WE BE ALLOWED TO GIVE UP OUR  EXISTING ESOP
> RIGHTS AND BE ABLE TO RE-ENTER THE PLAN THIS YEAR.    This then would be
> based on 20% of our base salary versus the 25% of last year (but most
> salary bases would be a little higher too).   This should be an optional
> choice.

>    I am confident this would be an enormously popular move.
