Hi Henri:
I think it may make most sense to consider your email as two separate proposals:
1. Addition of IOS and PrimeX STS values to Contractual Supplement Scheme
2. Calc Agent hard coding
I support 1 and second your proposal.
I'll defer to Marc Gratacos on item 2, but I believe our principle is that a data element that is specified in an STS, matrix or MCA does not appear in the equivalent FpML doc.
Following this principle, the calc agent element would not appear in the document.
Best wishes to you and all the CDWG members for a happy and healthy 2010.
Thanks,
Ben

Subject: FpML-CD Proposals: STS Calc Agent Hardcoding / IOS and PrimeX STS values
Ben/All,
Through discussions with legal and the industry, there is a trend in recently drafted documents moving towards hardcoding the Calculation Agent into Standard Terms Supplements rather than having it as a confirmable field. Firms would provide this on their FpML submissions similarly to "AsSpecifiedInMasterAgreement" for MCA's. This was most recently seen on the TRX template, and based on the feedback I've received from clients, will also be present on the upcoming "IOS" and "PrimeX" Standard Term Supplements as well.
In preparation for this I'd like to propose that a new value for Calculation Agent be added to the enumeration list for the <calculationAgentParty> element:
AsSpecifiedInStandardTermsSupplement'
The Calculation Agent is determined by reference to the relevant standard terms supplement.
For the two new Supplements coming in January, I'd also like to propose adding two new values to the http://www.fpml.org/coding-scheme/contractual-supplement <http://www.fpml.org/coding-scheme/contractual-supplement> (contractual supplement scheme) of:
IOS
Standard Terms Supplement for IOS transactions
PrimeX
Standard Terms Supplement for PrimeX transactions
As noted above, these two supplements would likely need the 'AsSpecifiedInStandardTermsSupplement' value in order to confirm properly in FpML. I'd appreciate it we could discuss both items at the next CDWG.
