Subject: ACORD Naming and Design Rules Candidate Recommendation
 Voting Ballot Available

Attention ACORD Members:

Please forward this communication to the interested parties within
your organization.

The ACORD Naming and Design Rules Candidate Recommendation voting
ballot and related materials are available for download per the
download instructions below.

The voting deadline is close of business day, Friday, December 7,
2007.

Other Key Dates to remember:
Dec. 14, 2007 Candidate Recommendation Published.

Please note:

 - The vote will be to move the working group draft to Candidate
   Recommendation.

 - Candidate Recommendation means the specification is not frozen
   but is in a state that allows implementation moving ahead.

 - Proofing will be by implementation, which means application of
   the NDR rules to future AML releases.

 - If something is found wrong or sub-optimal, adjustments can be
   done and reviewed by the working group and the membership
   before the specification becomes a standard.

Voting is open to ACORD members and/or Associate Members in good
standing with ACORD at the time of vote. There is one vote per
organization. If you have any questions concerning your membership
status, or would like to inquire about membership, please contact
dcaccioppoli@acord.org.

We appreciate your support of ACORD and look forward to your
continued participation in the Standards process and their
implementation. Thank you.
