As we near the end of May, we have successfully migrated 45 firm sites to the new consolidated network for clearing access.  Special thanks to all the clearing member firm network, software and back-office staff that have worked cooperatively with the CME.  

 However, we continue to experience a very high number of last minute cancellations  and requests for rescheduling.  Missed or cancelled migrations due to firms not being prepared, has a negatively impacted the migration process.  We are completely booked with migration appointments through the end of this month for production connections.  Please remember, we will begin RDC clearing testing in June, so we MUST wrap up the migration of firm production sites by the end of May. And with the impending new CME/CBOT Common Clearing Link, we will also begin the addition of CBOT firms this summer.

 Remember, we ask that all firm technical staff communicate with their back-office staff, in regard to their scheduled migration times and the operational impact to users.

 No migrations on May 23rd

 Please note that due to a system freeze, we cannot execute any migrations on Friday, May 23^rd, which starts the holiday weekend.

 Thank you for your continuing cooperation.  If you have any questions about your migration or status of pending circuits/existing DLCIs, please note the contacts listed below. 

 Thank you!
