Effective Date	01/09/03
Notice Number	CMO#0334

As previously announced, we will have two seminars next week to explain the specific requirements and expectations for final ACS testing and the ACS implementation.

Clearing House and IT staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have regarding this new application.

The seminars will be held in the CME Auditorium on Tuesday, January 14, from 9:00 � 10:00 a.m. and on Wednesday, January 15, from 1:30 � 2:30 p.m.

We strongly recommend that all firms send their appropriate business and IT staff to one of these seminars. It is our expectation that the implementation postponement and testing period will ensure a �seamless� ACS implementation.

If you plan on attending the seminar please contact Jackie Perun at (312) 930-3421 or e-mail at jperun@cme.com. If you have questions regarding ACS, please contact Farris Oweimrin in Client Management Operations at (312) 648-4780 or email at foweimri@cme.com. Thank you!
