After January 21, 2005, the Subcommittee will convene to make its determination as to the eligibility of the proposed nominees to run in the category for which he was proposed or otherwise. Such determination will be immediately posted. Should the Subcommittee determine that a proposed candidate is ineligible to run in the category for which he was recommended, written notice thereof shall immediately be submitted to that person. To assist the Subcommittee, NYMEX members may submit information regarding the eligibility of a proposed nominee to the Subcommittee. All such submissions must be received by 5:00 p.m. on January 28, 2005 at the Office of the Corporate Secretary. In addition, a proposed nominee may appeal the Subcommittee’s categorization. Such appeal must be made by 5:00 p.m. on February 1, 2005. The Subcommittee will consider the appeal and make a final ruling no later than February 4, 2005. At that time, the Subcommittee will assign the proposed nominees to the proper categories, regardless of the category for which the proposed nominee was originally recommended; however, only persons who were recommended to be candidates for Vice Chairman are eligible to run for that office.
TO BE OFFICIALLY NOMINATED, EACH PROPOSED NOMINEE WILL BE REQUIRED TO FILE WITH THE OFFICE OF THE CORPORATE SECRETARY A DECLARATION WHICH STATES THAT CATEGORY IN WHICH THE PERSON INTENDS TO STAND FOR ELECTION. FAILURE TO SUBMIT A DECLARATION TO THE OFFICE OF THE CORPORATE SECRETARY BY 5:00 P.M. ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 WILL RENDER THE PROPOSED NOMINEE INELIGIBLE TO RUN IN ANY CATEGORY.
