Comments:
"Business Opportunity Rule, Matter No. R511993 I am writing to ask you to reconsider some of the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I am an independent distributor for Xango, been with Xango for 27 months, and have been able to add greatly to my retirement income, and to help others. The proposals you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact my income. Specifically, the seven day waiting period, and the terms of the reference requirement -- I would never feel comfortable providing the personal contact information of other people in Xango, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I feel good about sharing Xango's very real business opportunity with others, and want to be able to continue to easily introduce Xango to more people who could benefit as I have. The regulations you are proposing would hinder me from doing so, and would hinder others in starting their business in the timeframe they choose. I wish you to know that I am thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me -- I really appreciate this -- but in this case I feel you would be really working against me, impacting my income, my future and my family's future. I am asking that you please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectully yours, Joyce Wilhelm
