Good Afternoon. I would like to welcome everyone to the third meeting of the CFTC’s Technology Advisory Committee. As you know, this meeting was originally scheduled for January 27^th. However, on the morning of the 26^th, Washington was in the crosshairs of a winter storm. I realized that while many of you could probably get here, the odds of getting out, even just a few hours later, would be slim if we got any kind of accumulation. So, in the interest of everyone’s busy schedules, not to mention your safety, I cancelled the meeting.
