Comments:

The idea of passing the Business Opportunity rule deeply concerns me. The thought of waiting 7 days before someone can join a reputable company seems unreasonable. I have built a wonderful career with a MLM for the past 13 years. I am a Registered Nurse, who chose to be a stay at home Mom while still having a career in a very reputable MLM business. It has been the best business move I have ever made. It seems that this 7 day waiting period will shed a negative light on my business and may delay someone from receiving a discount. It may also confuse and discourage people from starting a new business in MLM's. Please remember there are thousands like me who will be deeply affected by the decision. There has to be a better way to catch fradulent groups without pentalizing people like myself trying to earn a living and providing a wonderful business opportunity to so many.
