<p><span>Good morning, and thank you to everyone who is joining today’s Open Meeting here at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) conference room and those joining us remotely. Open public meetings are critical to the notice and comment rulemaking process, and the more members of the public we can reach, the better the process. Transparency in the regulatory process is a Core Value at the CFTC,</span><span> and is foundational to good governance.</span></p>
