FpML-BP RE: [fpml-coord] RE: FpML-AWG Trade Execution messages



I think we need to establish some principles:

1. We need a consistent naming convention for Requests, Responses, and
Notifications. I am not keen on having the word 'Notification' in the
name of the message but I don't have a better alternative at the moment
to distinguish them.
2. Response messages should be defined as response, not as
notifications. We should be strict on that.
3. Negotiation processes need to be complete, including messages for not
agreeing on the negotiation.
4. We shouldn't have different set of messages for the same process. If
execution and affirmation are the same process, we should have a single
set of messages.
5. Modifications and cancellations should be clearly defined as
modifications or cancellations of the message, not the object.
6. Modifications and cancellations of messages should be limited to
notification processes. Currently the lack of electronic negotiation
makes that notifications contain errors that need to be corrected.

OR

6. We don't provide notifications and we assume that the copy of the
negotiation will go to third parties.

The process is not clear to me in some of these cases so for number 6, I
don't know whether it should represented as a separate notification
process with a different set of messages or the same messages copying
third parties would work.

Best regards,
Marc

I like the use of 'corrected' rather than 'modified' but I 
think for consistency the initial message should have the 
same prefix as the corrected and retracted ones.

We also need to differentiate between messages exchanged 
between participants in the negotiation of a trade 
operation and those subsequently sent to non-participants 
who have an interest in the outcome. I've attached a 
section from the updated messaging architecture document I 
was working on for affirmation as an example.

In the current processed many of the final messages in the 
final confirmation phase of the negotiation are 
notifications rather than responses so that they can be 
distributed to others. I think this is wrong and they 
should just be reponses and a different message type used 
for the notification. This change makes the role of the 
receiver clearer it also means that the notifications 
could contain additional information, like the 'on behalf' 
of indicator.
