			<title>DAILY E-BOT SERVICE SUSPENDED</title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;In the past, many of you subscribed to a daily news email which highlighted new content&amp;nbsp;on various industry web sites as well as new content that had been added to our own website. That opt-in service, known as E-Bots, was provided by our former web host, nMatrix.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This feature was one which many of you valued, so we are pleased to announce the&amp;nbsp;Securities Industry and&amp;nbsp;Financial Markets Association, in cooperation with the Dividend Division, is working with our new web host, Schipul, to&amp;nbsp;create this very same functionality. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We hope to have this service available to you in the near future.&lt;/div&gt;
