FIA Asia is pleased to invite you to participate in an interactive online discussion of pending regulatory changes that will affect non-U.S. exchanges seeking direct market access to customers in the U.S. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, all foreign boards of trade will be required to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission if they intend to offer access directly to customers located in the U.S. In November the CFTC issued proposed rules to implement this new requirement, and set a deadline of January 18 for comments. Paul Architzel, a partner at the law firm of WilmerHale, will describe the proposed rules, discuss their implications for non-U.S. exchanges, and answer questions from participants. 

Paul Architzel is a former CFTC official who is now a member of the financial institutions practice group at WilmerHale, where he advises clients on commodity futures and derivatives rulemaking and enforcement. He is also an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center where he teaches Futures Regulation and the Commodity Exchange Act. He will be introduced by Nick Ronalds, executive director of FIA Asia.
