This proposed change would conform the rule to current practice as the Exchange does not require that arbitrators who serve in a particular region either be residents of that region or have their principal place of business in that region.

Pursuant to a recent restructuring at the Exchange, the Arbitration Department reports to the Chief Regulatory Officer (through the Vice President, Arbitration and Hearing Board).5 The proposed amendment, in recognition of that restructuring, provides that the Chief Regulatory Officer would designate the Director of Arbitration, which is subject to the approval of the Regulatory Oversight Committee.6 2.
