There are five Advisory Committees overseen by the CFTC and sponsored by CFTC Commissioners. They 

were created to provide advice and recommendations to the Commission on a variety of regulatory and 

market issues that affect the integrity, safety and soundness, and competitiveness of U.S. markets. The 

views, opinions, and information expressed by each advisory committee are solely those of the 
committee and its members and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission, its staff, or the 

U.S. government.
