Comments:

I have been an IBO since May 1981.All information for building a business has been readily available through a support system.The same information is and has been available to any person I have sponsored. Registration costs have varied over the years at most $125. If anyone chooses not to continue doing the business after signing up I have always refunded their money in full.I believe the proposed 7 day waiting period should be eliminated as long as there is a money back guarentee.Proposal #2 eliminate the requirement to provide 10 references, this infringes on the privacy of all other IBO's on the list. Proposal #3 should be eliminated as I see where it would be to no advantage to make this requirement part of the proposal, because it would cause undue financial and time constraints for the IBO. Proposal #4 is basically a invasion of privacy,Quixtar's SA4400 form explains what the average IBO makes and I feel that is sufficient so I feel this proposal should also be elimninated. Proposal #5, this is definitely an invasion of privacy, no other business in America is required to do this. The FTC has already required this through the Quixtar SA4400 form.
