Notes

-          MC5 / MC6 (dispute)

·         The group agreed in principle on the need of a mechanism in the message that will convey why a margin call is being disputed and what is disputed, but the group couldn’t agree on which mechanism(s)

1.       use a free-form comment field and/or

2.       use high-level reason code(s) and/or

3.       return disputed field values (e.g., TotalMTM, as outlined in the business specs pdf p.24)

The group ultimately agreed to allow a combination of all of the above for maximum flexibility (the free-form comments field and reason codes will be optional)

·         The group discussed the list of high-level reason codes that Peter/Wayne/Harry circulated à Action item 2

-          What happens after MC12/MC13 (request portfolio)? Closing the process loop

·         Kaizad raised the concern that after the MC12/MC13 exchange, there is no provision in the PDF specs to loop the result of the portfolio reconciliation back to the margin call <please correct if needed>

·         The Dispute Resolution Process is outside the scope of the collateral messages, but from an implementation perspective, we may need a new message or fields (TBD) to tie the result back to the original margin call request à Action item 3

1.       The FpML <correlationId> mechanism will be used to correlate related messages

2.       One suggestion was to simply rescind the original call (MC2) and resend a new margin call (MC1)

3.       It was also suggested that perhaps MC12/MC13 should be integrated with MC5/MC6, earlier in the process. We should be careful however, to design messages that can be used by service providers & matching services

 

 

Action Items

1.       à Richard to circulate an example of margin call response that could model acceptance/full dispute/partial dispute (MC3/MC5/MC6) with a single message (deferred from 2/17 meeting)

2.       à ISDA will consolidate the list of generic reason codes based on everyone’s input

3.       à Everyone to think how the result of the dispute resolution process can be tied back to the margin call, if at all

 

 

Next Meeting – Wednesday March 3, 2010 @ 10am NY / 3pm London time

Draft Agenda:

-          Review margin call response example from Richard (à action item 1)

-          MC5/MC6 Dispute Reasons: review consolidated list (à action item 2)

-          Closing the process loop (à action item 3)

-          Continue reviewing data fields for MC7..MC13

-          AOB

 

Dial-in details and materials will follow early next week.
