Could there be value to be unlocked in the one-year ownership of shares clause?

Sir you are so right in that the recent minimalistic step taken by the SEC to allow the true owners, the shareholders, to name who should be at the Board of their companies was “A much needed victory”, May 22.

What I cannot comprehend though is how the SEC can get away with the one year of ownership criteria... how on earth does one year of ownership change ownership? Could there now be an opportunity to sell the shares but keep them in your name, so as to offer the one year ownership on record? I mean in this severe crisis one has to look under every stone for any value to be unlocked.
