TO: EQUITY MARKETS ADVISORY COMMITTEE No. 46-10SEC RULES COMMITTEE No. 55-10 RE: DECEMBER 8 EQUITY MARKETS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING - DRAFT AGENDA ATTACHED
In conjunction with the Institute’s Equity Markets Conference to be held on December 9, 2010 in New York, the next meeting of the Equity Markets Advisory Committee has been scheduled for Wednesday, December 8, 2010. The meeting will take place at the New York Marriott Downtown, 85 West Street, New York, New York. The meeting will begin at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. A draft meeting agenda is attached.
Given the number of significant issues currently being examined relating to trading and market structure reform, please make every effort to send a representative from your firm to the meeting. Kay Swinburne, who is a member of the European Parliament (and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs) and who has been one of the leaders in Europe in calling for trading and market structure reform, will be attending the meeting to discuss her views on, and to hear from members about, trading and market structure issues. In addition, we will have our regular meeting with senior staff of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets to discuss trading issues and market structure developments at the SEC.
We anticipate that the meeting will conclude no later than 5:00 p.m. To register for the meeting, please visit our registration site at http://members.ici.org/reg/equity.
