SUBJECT: NYMEX Product Permissioning on GLOBEX Trader

In preparation for the June 17 launch of NYMEX e-miNY^SM contracts trading on the GLOBEX^� platform, we would like to take the opportunity to describe the permissioning process for you and your customers to trade these products using the CME provided GLOBEX Trader front-end.

If your clearing firm signed and returned the NYMEX Clearing Member Guarantee and Acknowledgement form to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) your SLE will be enabled to trade the NYMEX e-miNY contracts; QG (Natural Gas) and QM (Light Sweet Crude).

As the GLOBEX Trader administrator you will need to enable your users/customers in Selector to trade these products. If you do not update Selector your users/customers will not have access to these NYMEX products. The NYMEX e-miNY products are available in Selector now for you to begin your permissioning for your users/customers. If you have any questions regarding this notice please contact the GLOBEX Control Center (GCC) at 312 456-2391.
