Comment requested on electronic communications regulation

The New York Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers, a financial regulator, has asked for opinions on their joint proposals for the regulation of electronic communications.

The organisations released their draft rules last week.

They said: “The proposed Joint Guidance sets forth principles for members to consider when developing supervisory systems and procedures for electronic communications that are reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable federal securities laws and self-regulatory organisation rules.”

Comments should be made before July 13.
