Shares in people’s names please, not institutions. Lock box where people can see there shares, people allowed to lend out shares but only if authorised by holder. The reasons of not signing stock to individuals is out dated and easily achievable now(1960s paper trail overload)

FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

In this context, I believe the language in this Notice does not go far enough to allay my concerns.
