Let's start a pool - to enter you guess the date for mandatory compliance with the CIP Regulations. Person(s) closest to the date win virtual umbrella drinks from the rest of us.

My guess is June 1, 2003.

I'll say May 15, 2003

Ok, I'll play. July 1, 2003. Even with that it'll be all too soon!

April 1st. (April fools day would be very appropriate day I think)

April 15th - Tax Day! Seems somehow oddly appropriate, don't you think?
Leslie

I wanna play too. I say April 25, 2003

February 29, 2003 (Well - I can hope.....)

Beware the ides of March. I'll say March 15, 2003.

February 1, 2003

Very nice of you to keep track of everyone

My guess is June 26th

I say October 26, 2003. I can always hope.

October 31, 2002 at 4:59 p.m.

You took my guess, so I choose your birthday, June 15, 2003. What a fitting present! And don't make mine a virtual! I'll have one of those high-end merlots. Forget the umbrella.

My guess would be August 2, 2003, although I hope it would be more like Oct 31, 2004

My guess will be January 1st, 2003.

May 22, 2003

I'll play and say May 15, 2003 or the day after the next terriorst cells attack our airports, power plants, and dams.

April 30, 2003

February 10, 2003

May 26, 2003.

My guess is June 30, 2003.

September 1, 2003.

May 1, 2003: National Day of Prayer...for obvious reasons

I hope it is the day after I will probably lose my job through a merger-acquisition that our bank is going through!

I'll try April 26th.

October 28, 2003

April 30, 2003 - hopefully that hasn't already been guessed - I lost track!!!

Have a super weekend everyone!

January 1, 1959

My son's 16th birthday - July 9, 2003.

I'm gonna go for May 5th.. Mayday

I'll take June 13, 2003

What a great idea!

We'll throw in a BankersOnline golf shirt for the winner, too, so there will be a "nonvirtual" prize.

Let's clarify that the winner will be the person who comes closest to the date -- without going beyond it.

BOL staffers cannot enter, but my guess is the mandatory compliance deadline will be February 7, 2003.

I will have to guess:

February 11, 2003

The week I'm gone to get sinus surgery!

February 18, 2003.

I'll go for April 4th (4-4-03)

May 19, 2003

I'm going to be the eternal optimist and suggest that the new Congress will somehow be persuaded that section 326 is a ridiculous requirement, and will revoke it on January 26, 2003.

As if!

I'll guess May 23,2003.

Karen already took April 25th so I will go with April 24th.

I would've picked my 50th b-day 4-15-03, but I'll go with the 14th of April, 2003, when I'm younger and can handle it.

My guess is 3-3-03

Mandatory compliance January 1, 2004.

Hi skinnyminny and exgovtbabe...

How about May 21st.......

Isn't anyone going to go with "before the end of the 1-year period beginning on the date of enactment" of USA PATRIOT?

I'm going to go with May 7, 03 because I'm sure the government feels it would be an appropriate 40th birthday present for me.

If not then...a week after they finally finish the proposed revisions to the "New" CRA.

I'll guess July 26, 2003.

September 30, 2003

My quess July 4, 2003

How about an easy date to remember - September 11, 2003.

I'll take March 1. Same deadline as HMDA submission--those people have a very strange sense of timing. If so, we will be very happy that we are 90% implemented.

I'll guess March 17, 2003 (although I hope it later, much later).

January 15, 2003

April 26, 2003 (6 months after the original date).

No offense, Jim. But this is the most boring thread we've had. Hopefully it will be more eventful when we find out who the winner is, and if the industry as a whole is the loser.

I don't think this thread is as boring as Andy says, but I do have to whine about Friday Frivolity on Monday. Last Thursday (Halloween) there were so many fun "Fridayish" threads I went to bed happy because the next day was Saturday. This looks like it may be a very long week!!!

Now, I'll readily admit that it is not "humorous" or "hilarious" in the mode of other Friday Frivolity posts. But frivolous is not necessarily synonymous with humorous, although they're not mutually exclusive either. The really funny part is that you all think I'm actually tracking all of these guesses - hahahaha. (Actually, I did have that question raised a couple of times, but really no tracking is necessary. Once the date is announced, I'll just pop back to this thread and scan down looking for dates that are close and figure out the winner that way). Plus it's really cool (or is that kewl?) that Mary Beth is throwing in a BOL shirt for the winner. Thanks for the support MB!!
