RE: FpML-CD New iTraxx Index Tranche Trading Convention from March 22nd 2010



Hi Ian:

The creation of new documentation-oriented scheme values in CDS, even
for broker confirm codes, has always been driven by publically available
legal documentation. Since we don't have those docs here, I wouldn't be
in favor of adding a new code.

On the other hand, if there is a strong feeling in favor of creating a
new code amongst CDWG members, I wouldn't object either.

Best Regards,

Subject: FpML-CD New iTraxx Index Tranche Trading Convention from March
22nd 2010

Hi All,

We are belatedly aware of the below changes to iTraxx Index Tranche
trading convention, effective March 22nd 2010. These do not seem to have
been widely communicated in advance (e.g. via CIG). 

As far as I know, these are not confirmably Standardised, i.e. a new
type of ISDA Transaction Type. 

Knowing this, presumably we will not create a new brokerConfirmationType
Coding Scheme value (as was done with StandardCDXTranche) to communicate
the fact that these are traded in a standard form? Or should we define a
new value and manage the confirmation aspect separately:

StandardiTraxxEuropeTranche 

Opinions sought.

Thanks,

Ian
