[INQUIRY LETTER]

February 21, 2007

Chris Cox
Chairman
SEC
100 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20549

Dear Chris:

I was astonished to say the least that the SEC staff upheld the NYSE GROUP request for a NO ACTION letter re my reasonable resolution asking for shareholders to receive a PAPER STOCK CERTIFICATE only UPON REQUEST and upon payment of a reasonable fee if so requested. Why can the shareholders NOT vote upon this. HOW can the SEC uphold their notion of "ordinary business" when the FULL COMMISSION in December 06 at the OPEN MEETING (which I attended) UNANIMOUSLY voted for shareholders being able to receive a PAPER PROXY upon request. This is a PARALLEL issue to the PAPER STOCK CERTIFICATE. Many shareholders do wish to receive a PAPER STOCK CERTIFICATE And of course, those who wish to continue to receive book entry can do so, but shareholders SHOULD HAVEA CHOICE.

I am hereby asking for a review by the FULL COMMISSION on my reasonable resolution to request a paper stock certificate upon payment of a reasonable fee. Why this double standard for parallel issues: paper proxies and paper stock certificates? Please let me know as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

/s/

Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis

P. S. FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES ADOPTED this identical proposal, so I withdrew my proposal.

Dear Ms. Davis:

This is in response to your letter of February 21, 2007 requesting that the Commission review the position of the Division of Corporation Finance with respect to the application of Rule 14a-8(i)(7) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to a proposal submitted to NYSE Group, Inc. by you. The proposal recommended that the board of directors of NYSE Group take the necessary steps to issue a stock certificate of ownership of NYSE Group shares to any shareholders who request it and upon payment of a reasonable fee.

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. 202.1(d), the Division presented the matter to the Commission for review. The Commission has determined not to review the Division's no-action position under Rule 14a-8(i)(7).

Sincerely,

/s/

Nancy M. Morris
Secretary
