On Saturday, October 14, 2006, CME will participate in the FIA sponsored industry-wide disaster recovery test, which will also include other U.S. futures exchanges, clearinghouses, FCMs, and back office bookkeeping software providers. All CME and CBOT member firms are strongly encouraged to participate in this very crucial test.

October 14, 2006 Testing Script:

On Saturday, October 14, 2006 CME will fully staff the GLOBEX Control Center GCC at CME disaster recovery remote site.  The GCC will be used as the main point of contact for all test participants.   CME requests that the Firms call the GCC if they experience any issues attempting to connect front, or back end systems.  Upon completion of the script Firms are asked to call the GCC at 312-456-2391.  GCC staff will record your results and comments so that we will be able to create a report to be used in the recap session following the test.  As stated in the FIA meetings no Firms names will be used in the report.
