Equity Markets Advisory Committee SUBJECTS: Trading and Markets RE: SEC Renews the Charter of the Equity Market Structure Advisory Committee

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission) recently renewed the Equity Market Structure Advisory Committee’s (EMSAC) charter until January 2018.[1] The renewal notice does not specify the Commission’s plan for the EMSAC beyond January 2018, or whether the EMSAC’s membership will change during the next five months. Without the renewal, the EMSAC’s charter would have expired in August 2017.
