In 2005, Steve was appointed as a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Advisory Committee on Smaller Public Companies. This select committee was charged with evaluating the current securities regulatory system relating to governance, disclosure, financial reporting, internal controls, and capital formation for smaller public companies, including the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The SEC Advisory Committee's final report was delivered to the Commission on April 23, 2006. Steve served as chairman of the Governance and Disclosure Subcommittee of the SEC Advisory Committee. Many of the SEC Advisory Committee recommendations have since been adopted as proposed and final rule changes by the SEC.

In 2006, Steve was appointed to his second term as co-chair of the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, on which he's served since 1996. The council is responsible for making recommendations to the Nasdaq board on policy and rule changes related to issuer listing standards. Steve was extensively engaged in the development of Nasdaq's rules with respect to corporate governance reform and other listing standards. Steve also served on the California Department of Corporations' Securities Regulation Advisory Committee.
