similarly does not do so and instead
provides that its sole stockholder
nominates and elects its non-fair
representation directors.12 Other
Exchanges also provide that their Board,
without input from a nominating
committee, appoint members to
committees.13 The Exchange also
believes that since it is being proposed
that the sole stockholder have the
authority to nominate (and elect)
directors to the Board (and accept and
elect Representative Director nominees),
it is also consistent to transfer the
authority to fill director vacancies from
the Board to the sole stockholder.
The Exchange importantly notes that
it is not proposing to amend any of the
compositional requirements currently
set forth in the Bylaws and that
notwithstanding the proposed changes,
existing compositional requirements of
the Exchange will still be required to be
satisfied, including the provision
relating to the fair representation of
members. While the delegation of the
authority relating to the (i) nomination
and election of directors, (ii) nominating
body for Representative Directors, (iii)
filling of Director vacancies and (iv)
appointment of committees is being
modified, the substantive practices of
the Exchange will remain the same. For
example, the sole stockholder will be
bound to nominate and elect the
Representative Directors nominees
recommended by the Representative
Director Nominating Body or, in the
event of a petition candidate, the
Representative Director nominees who
receive the most votes pursuant to a
Run-off Election.
Lastly, the Exchange believes the
clarifying changes to the Exchange’s
Certificate, including updating the
Exchange’s name in the title and
signature line, allows the Exchange to
comply with Delaware law and reduce
potential confusion. The alleviation of
confusion removes impediments to, and
perfects the mechanism for a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, protects
investors and the public interest of
market participants.
The Exchange believes the proposed
changes do not affect the meaning,
administration, or enforcement of any
rules of the Exchange or the rights,
obligations, or privileges of Exchange
members or their associated persons is
any way.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The proposed rule
change relates to the corporate
governance of the Exchange and not the
operations of the Exchange. This is not
a competitive filing and, therefore,
imposes no burden on competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange neither solicited nor
received comments on the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 45 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period
up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which
the Exchange consents, the Commission
will:
A. By order approve or disapprove
such proposed rule change, or
B. institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.

Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to remove
Directed Order 3 functionality on ISE.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange’s Web site
at https://ise.cchwallstreet.com/, at the
principal office of the Exchange, and at
the Commission’s Public Reference
Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and

Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant aspects of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
Last year the Exchange filed to delay
the implementation of the Directed
Order functionality in conjunction with
a replatform to INET.4 INET is the
proprietary core technology utilized
across Nasdaq’s global markets and
utilized on The Nasdaq Options Market
LLC (‘‘NOM’’), Nasdaq PHLX LLC
(‘‘Phlx’’) and Nasdaq BX, Inc. (‘‘BX’’)
(collectively, ‘‘Nasdaq Exchanges’’). ISE
was migrated to INET technology in
2017. With the migration, ISE delayed
the implementation of the Directed
Order functionality to stage the replatform to provide maximum benefit to
its Members while also ensuring a
successful rollout. At that time, the
Exchange noted that the Exchange will
introduce the Directed Order
functionality within one year from the
date of this filing, otherwise the
Exchange will file a rule proposal with
the Commission to remove these rules.
The Exchange filed the initial rule
3 A ‘‘Directed Order’’ is an order routed from an
Electronic Access Member to an Exchange market
maker through the Exchange’s System.

change on February 23, 2017.5 The
Exchange has determined at this time
not to offer Directed Order functionality.
If the Exchange determines to offer this
functionality at a later date a rule
proposal will be filed at that time.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act,6 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,7
in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect
investors and the public interest
because the Exchange will remove rule
text related to functionality which will
not be offered on ISE. The current rule
text indicates the functionality is not
offered today. The Exchange believes
that removing Rule 811 from the
Rulebook will avoid confusion as to
whether this functionality will be
enabled in the future.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on intra-market competition
because the Exchange is not offering this
functionality today and believes there is
no interest among Members for this
functionality.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section

it appears to the Commission that such
action is: (i) Necessary or appropriate in
the public interest; (ii) for the protection
of investors; or (iii) otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Bylaws and Certificate. Specifically the
Exchange proposes to eliminate its
Nominating and Governance Committee
(‘‘N&G Committee’’), as well as amend
the process by which (i) directors are
elected, (ii) committee appointments are
made and (iii) vacancies are filled.
Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
amend the name of the Regulatory
Oversight and Compliance Committee
(‘‘ROCC’’) and make other technical,
non-substantive changes.
Elimination of Nominating and
Governance Committee
(a) Nomination of Directors
By way of background, Section 4.3 of
the Bylaws provides, among other
things, that the Exchange N&G
Committee shall consist of at least five
directors that are majority Non-Industry
Directors and are appointed by the
Board on the recommendation of the
N&G Committee. Section 4.3 of the
Bylaws also provides that the N&G
Committee shall have the authority to
nominate individuals for election as
directors of the Corporation and such
other duties as prescribed by resolution
of the Board.3 Additionally, if the N&G
Committee has two or more Industry
Directors, those Industry Directors shall
act as the Representative Director
Nominating Body, which body is
responsible for the nomination of the
3 Article Fifth, subparagraph (c) of the Certificate
also provides that the N&G Committee nominates
persons for election as directors.

Representative Directors. If however,
there are less than two Industry
Directors on the N&G Committee, then
the Trading Permit Holder
Subcommittee of the Advisory Board
shall act as the Representative Director
Nominating Body.4 The N&G Committee
is bound to accept and nominate the
Representative Director nominees
recommended by the Representative
Director Nominating Body or, in the
event of a petition candidate, the
Representative Director nominees who
receive the most votes pursuant to a
Run-off Election.5 Pursuant to Section
3.1 of the Bylaws, the N&G Committee
is also responsible for determining
whether a director candidate satisfies
the applicable qualifications for election
as a director, and the decision of the
N&G Committee, subject to review, if
any, by the Board, is final.
The Exchange first proposes to
eliminate its N&G Committee and
amend the process by which Directors
are nominated and elected. Specifically,
the Exchange proposes to provide that
the sole stockholder of the exchange
shall nominate and elect directors for
nomination at the annual meeting of the
stockholder, except with respect to fairrepresentation directors
(‘‘Representative Directors’’) as
described below. The Exchange notes
that another Exchange similarly does
not maintain an exchange-level
nominating committee and instead
provides that the sole stockholder of the
Exchange nominates and elects their
non-fair representation Directors.6 With
respect to the nomination of
Representative Directors, the Exchange
proposes to amend the definition of
‘‘Representative Director Nominating
Body’’ and provide that if the Board has
two or more Industry Directors,
excluding directors that are exchange
employees, those Industry Directors
shall act as the Representative Director
Nominating Body. Additionally, similar
to today’s practice, if there are less than
two Industry Directors on the Board
(excluding directors that are employees
of the Exchange), then the Trading
Permit Holder Subcommittee of the
Advisory Board shall act as the
Representative Director Nominating
Body. The Bylaws and Certificate will
also be amended to provide that the sole
stockholder is bound to nominate and
elect the Representative Directors
4 See Sections 1.1(k) and 4.3 of the Bylaws.
Section 3.2 of the Bylaws sets forth a detailed
process for the nomination and selection of fair
representation directors for the Board of Directors.
5 See Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Bylaws and
Article Fifth, subparagraph (c) of the Certificate.
6 See Section 3.02 of the Amended and Restated
NYSE Arca, Inc. Bylaws.
