Impact Assessment

High operational impact as this affects critical trading connectivity infrastructure for members at three major locations. Members will need to coordinate migration activities, potentially update their connectivity configurations, and ensure business continuity during the transition period. The staggered timeline provides some flexibility but requires careful planning, especially for Mumbai members who have a longer migration window.

Impact Justification

Critical infrastructure changes affecting member connectivity with specific migration timelines that require immediate attention
