TO: ETF ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SEC RULES COMMITTEE No. 55-06
RE: FIRST MEETING OF THE ETF ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Institute has formed an ETF Advisory Committee to examine regulatory and legislative
issues affecting exchange-traded funds. The first meeting of the Advisory Committee has been
scheduled for Friday, January 26th, 2007 at the offices of the Investment Company Institute, 1401 H
Street, N.W., Washington, DC. The meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time and end no later
than 2:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
In light of the SEC’s plans to publish an ETF rule proposal in the near term, we have invited a
representative of the SEC’s Division of Investment Management to attend part of the meeting to
discuss the issues that may be addressed in such proposal. With respect to the rest of the meeting
agenda, we invite those planning to attend the meeting to suggest topics or issues that you would like to
discuss with your colleagues. Based upon the responses we receive, we will develop an agenda tailored to
the interests of the Committee, which will be circulated prior to the meeting.
Please complete and return the attached form if you or another representative from your
organization plan to attend the meeting. A space is provided for suggested agenda items.
Future communications regarding ETF Advisory Committee matters will be addressed only to
members of the Advisory Committee. If you would like to join the Committee and have not already
notified us, please contact Mara Shreck at mshreck@ici.org or 202/326-5923. A list of organizations
currently represented on the Committee is attached.
