The TAC has held at least one meeting per year. TAC members serve at the pleasure of the Commission. In addition, TAC members do not receive compensation or honoraria for their services, and they are not reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses. TAC members are appointed to two-, three-, or four-year terms. The Commission seeks members who will share their experiences and views on the opportunties and risks that may be associated with technological innovation, including in the derivatives and commodities industries, and ways that the Commission can utilize new or different technologies in carrying out its mission. To advise the Commission effectively, TAC members must have a high level of expertise and experience relating to technological innovation in the financial services, derivatives, or commodity (including digital-asset commodity) markets and the Commission’s regulation of such markets, including from a historical perspective. To the extent practicable, the Commission will strive to select members reflecting wide ethnic, racial, gender, and age representation. TAC members should be open to participating in a public forum. The Commission invites the submission of nominations for TAC membership. Each nomination submission should include relevant information about the proposed member, such as the individual’s name, title, and organizational affiliation, as well as information that supports the individual’s qualifications to serve on the TAC. The submission should also include suggestions for topics for discussion at future TAC meetings as well as the name and email or mailing address of the person nominating the proposed member. Submission of a nomination is not a guarantee of selection as a member of the TAC. As noted in the TAC’s Membership Balance Plan, the CFTC identifies members for the TAC through a variety of methods. Such methods may include public requests for nominations for membership; recommendations sought from existing or former advisory committee members; consultations with knowledgeable persons outside the CFTC (e.g., persons representing market participants, financial technology providers, market infrastructure firms, regulatory or self-regulatory organizations, academic institutions, think tanks, or public interest groups); requests to be represented received from VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:32 Sep 21, 2022 Jkt 256001 individuals and organizations; and Commissioners’ and CFTC staff’s professional knowledge of those experienced in the financial services, derivatives, or commodity markets. The Office of Commissioner Goldsmith Romero, given the Commissioner’s sponsorship of the TAC, plays a primary, but not exclusive, role in this process and makes recommendations regarding membership to the Commission. The Commission, by vote, authorizes proposed members to serve on the TAC. The Commission also invites submissions from the public regarding the topics on which the TAC should focus. In other words, topics that relate to the following: (a) the impact and implications of technological innovation in the financial services, derivatives, and commodity (including digital-asset commodity) markets; (b) the utilization of new technologies in financial services, derivatives, and commodity (including digital-asset commodity) markets, as well as by market professionals and market users; and/or (c) the utilization of technology at the Commission to meet its surveillance and enforcement responsibilities and inform the Commission’s consideration of technology-related issues to support the Commission’s mission of ensuring the integrity of the markets and achievement of other public interest objectives. Each topic submission should include the commenter’s name and email or mailing address. (Authority: 5 U.S.C. App. II) Dated: September 19, 2022. Robert Sidman, Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
