Executive Summary

The purpose of this Special Notice to Members is to announce the nominees for the District Committees and the District Nominating Committees. The individuals identified in this Special Notice to Members (see Attachment A) have been nominated for three-year terms on the District Committees and for one-year terms on the District Nominating Committees starting in January 2001. These nominees will be considered duly elected on October 2, 2000, unless an election is contested in accordance with the procedures summarized below.

We appreciate the interest shown by many of you in participating in the District Committees and thank everyone for their continuing support of the self-regulatory process. We look forward to your participation in the matters of the Districts during the coming year, as well as hope that those who were not selected this year will revisit this process next year.

Contested Election Procedures

If an officer, director, or employee of a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD®) member is interested in being considered as an additional candidate, he/she must indicate his/her interest to the District Director by September 15, 2000. If an additional candidate does not come forward by that date, the election of committee members is final.

If, however, an additional candidate(s) does come forward by that date, the candidate has until October 2, 2000 to submit a petition to the District Nominating Committee with signatures from at least 10 percent of Executive Representatives of members eligible to vote in the District.

If no additional candidates submit petitions by October 2, 2000, then the candidates nominated by the District Nominating Committee shall be considered elected, and the District Committee shall certify the election to the Board of Directors of NASD Regulation.

Additional information pertaining to the District Election Procedures can be found in Article VIII of the By-Laws of NASD Regulation.
