4 In approving this rule, the Commission notes

that it has considered the proposed rule’s impact on

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15

applicable to a national securities

exchange, and in particular, the

requirements of Sections 6(b)(5) in that

it is designed to prevent fraudulent,

manipulative acts and practices and to

promote just and equitable principles of

trade, and to remove impediments to

and protect the mechanism of a free and

open market and to protect investors

and the public interest.4

The Commission believes that another

public governor on the Exchange Board

will render the Board more balanced,

fair and effective. Similarly, adding

another public governor to serve on the

Executive Committee will serve to

increase the influence of outside

directors regarding the administration of

the Exchange.

While the Commission views the

addition of a public member to the

Exchange’s Board of Governors as an

encouraging initial step towards a more

balanced Board composition, the

Commission continues to encourage the

Exchange to consider adding more

public members to its Board in order to

achieve a public majority on the Board.

The Commission believes that

significant representation by public

governors on the Board is desirable and

should ensure better protection of

investors and the public interest. Public

governors are likely to have little or no

stake in internal Exchange politics, and,

if carefully selected, public governors

should bring diverse experience and

increased ethical sensitivity to the

Board, thus enhancing the confidence of

members and of the public in the

Exchange’s ability to govern its

members appropriately.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 5 that the

proposed rule change (SR–PCX–97–27)

is approved.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.6

Deputy Secretary.
