Executive Summary

The purpose of this Special Notice to Members is to inform members of the upcoming nomination and election process to fill forthcoming vacancies on NASD District Committees and District Nominating Committees.

Information on District Committee and District Nominating Committee members currently serving through 2005, 2006, and 2007 is included in Attachment A. Information on District Election Procedures is included in Attachment B. A blank candidate profile sheet is also included (Attachment C).

Nomination Process

Individuals from member firms of all sizes and segments of the industry are encouraged to submit names for consideration for membership on the 11 District Committees and District Nominating Committees. In this election, each District Committee will have three vacancies to fill, with the exception of District 10, which will have four. The term of office for District Committee members is three years. Each District Nominating Committee will have five vacancies to fill for a one-year term. Members are requested to submit candidates' names to the appropriate District Director by submitting a cover letter and completed candidate profile sheet (Attachment C) by July 26, 2004.

To serve as a member of a District Committee or District Nominating Committee, an individual must: (1) be employed by an NASD member eligible to vote in the District for District Committee elections; and (2) work primarily from such NASD member's principal office or a branch office that is located within the District where the individual will serve on a Committee. NASD believes this will ensure that local interests are represented on Committees. Also, please note that individuals who have served two consecutive terms are no longer eligible to be re-elected; however, NASD encourages current and former committee members to assist NASD by soliciting candidates for both committees.

Completed forms will be provided to all members of the appropriate District Nominating Committee for review. It is anticipated that on or before September 3, 2004, each District Director, acting on behalf of the District Nominating Committee, will notify the Secretary of NASD of each candidate nominated by the District Nominating Committee and the position to which the candidate is nominated.

Members are reminded of the importance to accurately maintain their Executive Representative name and e-mail address information, as well as their firm's main postal address.¹ This will ensure that member mailings, such as election information, will be properly directed. Failure to keep this information accurate may jeopardize the member's ability to participate in District elections as well as other member votes. To update the Executive Representative name and e-mail address, firms should access the NASD Contact System, located on NASD's Web site at www.nasdr.com/ncs.asp

To update postal address information, the firm must file a Form BD Amendment via the Web CRD system. For assistance updating either of these systems, you may contact our Call Center at (301) 590-6500.

Questions/Further Information

Questions concerning this Special Notice may be directed to the District Director noted or to Barbara Z. Sweeney, Senior Vice President and Corporate Secretary, NASD, at (202) 728-8062 or via e-mail at [email protected].

ATTACHMENT B

Procedures for Electing District Committee and District Nominating Committee Members

1. Each NASD District shall maintain a District Nominating Committee in the manner specified in Article VIII of the By-Laws of NASD Regulation, Inc.

2. The Secretary of NASD has sent the foregoing written notice to each District Nominating Committee member and each District Director identifying the members of the District Committee and the District Nominating Committee whose terms expire in January 2005. The notice describes the election procedures to be followed in filling these positions.

3. The Secretary of NASD and the Member Regulation Department will e-mail a reminder to all members of their responsibility, and obligation, to keep current and accurate the information on their Executive Representatives. The e-mail will contain a reference to the NASD Contact System, located on NASD's Web site at www.nasdr.com/ncs.asp, for changing a firm's Executive Representative name, email and postal address. This e-mail will note that failure to keep this information accurate may jeopardize the member's ability to participate in the district elections, as well as in other member votes.

4. The Secretary of NASD will send a Notice to Members announcing the forthcoming elections to the Executive Representative of all NASD members eligible to vote in each district. The Notice to Members will identify: (a) the number of positions that need to be filled in each district; and (b) the incumbent members of each District Committee. Persons associated with an NASD member who are interested in serving on the District Committee or the District Nominating Committee within their district, must complete a candidate profile sheet and submit it to the District Director. The completed candidate profile sheets will be provided to all members of the appropriate District Nominating Committee for review. During this stage of the election process, the District Nominating Committee identifies and solicits candidates to nominate for election to the District Committee and the District Nominating Committee.

5. Soon after the expiration of the time allotted in the Notice to Members to submit names and candidate profile sheets for consideration, the District Nominating Committee will meet to determine its slate of candidates for the election. NASD staff will provide the District Nominating Committee members with information considered to be relevant to the nomination process, including:

analytical data pertaining to the district's membership; and

candidate profile sheets.

6. In determining its slate of candidates for the election, the District Nominating Committee will review the background and qualifications of the proposed candidates, and endeavor to secure appropriate and fair representation on the District Committee and on the District Nominating Committee of the various sections of the district and various classes and types of NASD members engaged in the investment banking or securities business within the district. The slate must include one candidate for each position to be filled on the District Committee and on the District Nominating Committee.

7. On or before September 3, 2004, the District Director, acting on behalf of the District Nominating Committee, will notify the Secretary of NASD of each candidate nominated by the District Nominating Committee and the position to which the candidate is nominated.

8. On or before October 1, 2004, the Secretary of NASD will send a Notice to Members to the District Committees and the Executive Representatives of NASD members eligible to vote in each district, identifying the nominees for the District Committees and the District Nominating Committees.

If the District Nominating Committee nominates only one candidate for each position on the District Committee and the District Nominating Committee and no additional candidate comes forward by delivering written notice to the appropriate District Director within 14 calendar days after the date of the Notice to Members identifying the nominees, the candidates nominated by the District Nominating Committee are considered duly elected.

9. If an officer, director, or employee of an NASD member was not nominated by the District Nominating Committee and wants to be considered for election to the District Committee or the District Nominating Committee as an additional candidate, he/she must notify the District Director in writing within 14 calendar days after the date of the Notice to Members referenced in item 8 above. The District Director must make a written record of the time and date of the receipt of such notification.

10. Promptly following receipt of the additional candidate's timely notice, the Secretary of NASD will provide to the additional candidate a list of all NASD members eligible to vote in the district, their mailing addresses, and their Executive Representatives.

11. An additional candidate is considered nominated if a petition signed by the Executive Representative of at least 10 percent of the NASD members eligible to vote in the district is filed with the District Nominating Committee within 30 calendar days after the mailing date of the list to the additional candidate referenced in item 10 above.

12. If an additional candidate secures the required petition within the 30-day designated timeframe, the election is considered a contested election. The Secretary of NASD will send a Notice to Members to the Executive Representatives of NASD members eligible to vote in the district announcing the names of all candidates and describing the contested election procedures.

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