Good Morning. I would like to welcome my fellow Commissioners and all of the Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) members in attendance. And a special welcome to our colleagues from the SEC, as well as a number of foreign jurisdictions around the world. We were able to coordinate this GMAC meeting with an existing IOSCO OTC Derivatives technical meeting, so we are very grateful that you were all able to stay to participate today. I would also like to introduce Ron Filler, who was formerly a long serving member of GMAC, and thank him for agreeing to serve in a newly created role as an outside Chairman of GMAC. As the primary sponsor of the committee I asked the Commission to approve this new structure to assist us with consideration of these very important global market issues. Ron currently serves as the Director of the Center for Financial Services Law at the New York Law School and has been a valuable resource for the Commission for many years on futures issues. As we work to implement this new swaps regime we are grateful for his continued commitment to this agency and to helping us formulate sound policy.
