Comments:
I am strongly opposed to the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. It's one thing to protect the public from deceptive business practices. It is quite another to hamstring legtimate business people with undue waiting periods to enroll new members. I didn't have to wait to become a member of Costco. The proposed rule to disclose a minimum of 10 prior purchasers is impossible for a new distributor to provide. Everyone of us begins with one customer at a time. Again, no other company I do business with provides me with a list of their other customers. It's an administrative nightmare as well as a privacy violation. I do appreciate that the FTC wants to protect consumers however these new proposed rules would have many unintended consequences for those of us inthe direct selling business. I implore you to reconsider. Sincerely, Susan Hartry
