We are nearing the end � but there are still some firms that are not close enough to the mark!  Because of the programming demands related to the recent Order Number field expansion and the expanded Trade ID format for GLOBEX, we are extending your IP conversions, one last time.

To enable you to focus on one application at a time, we are setting forth a revised schedule for discontinuing access to the CME via SNA and SNI by application. Our hope is that if you can focus on one thing at a time, you can meet the deadlines!!  The new deadlines will become effective starting March 4^th. Please review the schedule listed below carefully.  Of course, if you complete your conversion before the deadlines, that�s even better!
