These relate to the following: Nominating Committee Results Citigroup Board Meeting Schedule Strategic Planning Meeting Schedule Pre-Strategic Planning Lunches Nominating Committee Results The Nominating Committee has completed its deliberations and has recommended 11 individuals for election at this year's AGM to two-year terms. In addition to the reelection of Ernie, Jerry, Jose Manuel, Keith, Maurits, Terry, Tom and Tim, the Nominating Committee has proposed the following individuals for election: Kaushik Amin, Managing Director at Lehman Brothers NY, co-head of their global fixed income division. Fred Janbon, Global Head of Fixed Income at BNP Paribas, London Azam Mistry, Director, Head of Risk Management Advisor--Treasury and Capital Markets, HSBC, Hong Kong, and Co-Chair of our Asia-Pacific Steering Committee Thank you to everyone on the nominating commitee for your efforts, particularly those of you who had an opportunity to meet these and other prospective nominees. Citigroup The Nominating Committee chose not to nominate anyone from Citigroup for election at this year's AGM. We have emphasized to Citigroup that this decision is due to a variety of factors, including lack of attendance at Board meetings by current and past Board members and the fact that Citi has had a seat on the Board continuously since the Association was formed. We have encouraged them to remain involved in ISDA activities with a view to rejoining the Board at the earliest possible juncture. Please encourage your Citigroup counterparts to get involved or remain involved in the Association's activities. Both Ravit and Thierry Sciard, who contacted us to offer himself as an alternative for the position, were upset by the decision, but it is not clear what the long-term effects will be. The most immediate tangible effect is that Citi has indicated that it is withdrawing its co-sponsorship of the Tuesday and Wednesday evening events at the Washington AGM. There is a possibility that Lehman may be interested in sponsorship. Board Meeting Schedule Please make note of the Board meeting schedule for the remainder of the year: April 4 and 5 (over lunch each day at the AGM in Washington) May 16-17 in Kyoto (more details below) September 12 in London November 13 in New York (note this is a change from prior schedules distributed) Strategic Planning Session May 16 and 17 are the dates of our strategic planning session, which this year will be at the Miyako Hotel in Kyoto. The details on the Miyako Hotel are: MIYAKO HOTEL Sanjo Keage Kyoto 605-0052 Japan Phone: 81 75 771 7111 Fax: 81 75 751 2490 http:/www.miyakohotel.co.jp The schedule is slightly different from past sessions. I will provide more details on the specifics, but for your planning purposes, you should arrange to be in Kyoto for lunch on Wednesday, May 16. (Bullet trains from Tokyo that morning will get you there in time.) We will have dinner in the hotel Wednesday evening after our afternoon session. On Thursday, May 17, we will start with breakfast and have a working lunch, with the session ending around 2:00. The afternoon will be spent visiting temples and perhaps going on a sake tasting tour. (Fortunately, I do not believe that Francis Ford Coppola is a sake producer.) Dinner that evening will be at a restaurant and will be accompanied by a Geisha dance. Please plan to stay for all of the events. There is nothing planned for Friday so that everyone (particularly the Europeans) can get planes out of Osaka or Tokyo on Friday morning that will get them back for the weekend. Pre-Strategic Planning Luncheons As in the past we will hold a series of luncheons in London, New York and Tokyo where we will invite senior executives from member firms to share with us their thoughts on issues affecting the industry. The tentative schedule and locations for these lunches is as follows: Wednesday, May 2 London UBS (hosted by Tim Frederickson) Friday, May 11 New York AIG (hosted by Ernie Patrikis) Tuesday, May 15 Tokyo Royal Park Hotel (hosted by Koshikawa-san) In addition to attending the luncheon closest to your office, please consider arriving in Tokyo a day early to join us at the Tokyo session. Again, more details will follow. In the meantime, I would welcome any suggestions for individuals we should invite to these luncheons in the various centers. I know this is a long email, but it covers the critical dates for the coming months in one fell swoop. I am on holiday the week of Feb. 19 and will be in Asia (visiting Beijing, Hong Kong and Tokyo) the week of Feb. 26. I will be checking emails and voice mails. Bob Bob
