| January 13th, 2011 | Opening Statement, Open Meeting on the Ninth Series of Proposed Rulemakings under the Dodd-Frank Act Commissioner Jill E. Sommers Good Morning- I would like to begin again today by thanking the staff of both of the teams for all of the hard work on the proposals we are considering today. Sarah Josephson has had a number of different rules contained within the internal business conduct standards and this is the final proposal for her team. I want to express my appreciation to all of them. The position limit team has also been before us on a number of different occasions and I want to thank all of them for their perseverance on the very difficult issues surrounding imposing limits. |
| October 1st, 2010 | "Clearinghouses as Mitigators of Systemic Risk” and Remarks Before the Capital Markets Consortium by Commissioner Jill E. Sommers Thank you for that kind welcome. It is an honor to be here today with the Capital Markets Consortium to discuss new clearing mandates imposed by Dodd-Frank, the current state of regulatory reform at the CFTC, where I think the CFTC will be heading in the next year or so, and what I believe are some of the more difficult challenges the CFTC and market participants will face as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is implemented. |
