(b) ~Basis for On-exchange % Standard ~- CME asked about the basis for the proposal’s use of 85% as the standard for determining if the percentage of trading done on the centralized market is sufficient to comply with Core Principle 9.  (c) ~Clearing Alternatives ~- CME asked about clearing alternatives that would be available for ClearPort trades under the proposal. (d) ~CME RFQ System ~- CME provided a short explanation if its CME RFQ system.  (e) ~Comments Welcome ~- the CFTC suggested further review of the DCM rulemaking proposal, and that comments are welcome. ~(3) Position Limits - CME discussed various issues related to position limits, including bona fide hedges, aggregation and significant price discovery function swaps. ~(4) Clearing Proposals - CME discussed various issues relating to risk management issues.
