    MEMORANDUM TO: File No. S7-20-08; Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58190 FROM: Division of Trading and Markets DATE: July 31, 2008 RE: Meeting on Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-58166 On July 22, 2008, staff of the Division of Trading and Markets met with representatives from Overstock.com, Inc. to discuss Regulation SHO, “naked” short selling, and the Commission’s recent Emergency Order, (Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34- 58166). Overstock followed-up this meeting by sending an e-mail attaching a letter which is included as an attachment to this Memorandum. July 23, 2008 Subject: Follow-up on July 22 Meeting Dr. Sirri et al.: I thank you for meeting with Ken Salomon, John Welborn and me yesterday afternoon to discuss Reg SHO, naked short selling and the SEC's recent emergency order. As a follow-up, I want to emphasize the following points: 1. OSTK continues to believe that it is critical that the SEC extend the pre-borrow requirement of the emergency order to the entire market, not just the 19 select companies. OSTK requests that the SEC promptly undertake swift rulemaking so that this protection applies fairly across the market. 2. OSTK continues to support the prompt and full elimination of the option market maker exception, an exception that swallows up the good intentions of Reg SHO. During yesterday's meeting, we discussed the relationship between the markets for equities and their corresponding derivatives (including listed options). You stated that options market makers enjoy an exception from the Reg SHO requirement that they locate and/or deliver shares when hedging against options positions.

    1 Entrepreneurship in Regulated Markets: Framing Contests and Collective Action to Introduce Pay TV in the U.S. Kerem Gurses Luiss University Viale Romania 32 00197, Roma, Italy e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (+39) 06 852251 Pinar Ozcan Warwick Business School Scarman Road, Coventry CV47AL UK e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (+44) 79 20 40 79 30 Pre-edit version. Published at the Academy of Management Journal in 2015. Keywords: Entrepreneurship, institutions, regulation, framing contests, collective action 1 Entrepreneurship in Regulated Markets: Framing Contests and Collective Action to Introduce Pay TV in the US ABSTRACT In their endeavor to establish new products and services, entrepreneurs can face strong resistance from market incumbents whose resources and market position they threaten. This paper looks at the battles between entrepreneurs and market incumbents in a regulated market where various institutional actors (e.g. regulators, courts) have the power to protect the incumbents by hindering the entrepreneurs. Our comparison of one failed and one successful attempt to introduce pay TV in the US reveals how entrepreneurs can first enter a regulated market without facing resistance, and then introduce a new frame to legitimize their product/service despite growing resistance from incumbents. Our framework highlights framing as a strategy and framing contests as a mechanism through which entrepreneurs and incumbents can battle to enable/disable institutional change. As part of this process, we also uncover how entrepreneurs evolve from self-serving actors with no field-level intentions to powerful groups that create a ripple effect in their environment by moving their target of influence from private to institutional actors.
