Dear SEC, Reduce the costs and risks related to going and staying public - you'll easily get your wish!

How would the SEC reduce "risks related to going and staying public?"

For starters, make the rules for the first 365 days after the IPO the same as being private; which would include limiting the first year of the IPO to qualified investors.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of an IPO? The P does stand for public after all.

Doing it this way would remove a lot of risk for the general public after he 365 days passes. Have a better idea?
