* Present Henri Van Den Boogaerde, Murex Marc Gratacos, ISDA Raphael Iyageh, GS Owen King, MarkitSERV (Chair) Peter Stockman, DTCC Irina Yermakova, ISDA * Review outstanding actions >> RI to find out what events option Expiration Dates are commonly confirmed relative to for gas, power, bullion, coal and oil. RI had not yet been able to do this [Carried Forward] >> ALL to indicate their priorities for future FpML commodities development to the group. No specific priorities were raised. Participants are welcome to raise new priorities at any point. [Closed] 1. EU Emissions The group agreed that the Emissions Leg element should be placed within the commodityForward element so as to represent single-delivery transactions only. OK outlined some of the additional information that would need to be modelled for emissions transactions. PS volunteered to put together a list of fields that should be considered. 2. Finalisation of physical options schema MG and OK agreed that the changes to the schema to support physically-settled options should be reviewed at the next coordination committee meeting. The group agreed to include the changes in FpML 4.8 to allow greater time for validation and to provide for easier modification for any emissions-specific terms. OK asked the group to review the daily-expiring sample trade and confirmation (attached) 3. Leg structure MG explained that the MTF has been looking at ways to extend xsd:choice instead of creating a substitution group for the members of the choice. This has the advantage of keeping the elements locally defined but allowing extensibility. The solution proposed by the MTF is to include a global abstract element with a type that is not defined to potentially create a substitution group for extensions. The element is then referenced within the existing xsd:choice structure. As an example, the commodity legs could be restored to be a choice structure and add an additionalCommodityLeg as an extension point. OK said he would like to change the schema to follow the MTF's recommendation for the FpML 4.7 release to avoid having to make a subsequent change in 4.8. 4. Return swaps on commodity indices OK summarised the example commodity index swap sample trade and explained that it was not immediately clear how the payment amounts should be presented. MG was not aware of any current use of FpML where a calculation formula was actually included in the message, therefore OK suggested that a commodities-specific coding scheme should probably be created representing common calculation formulae. The group was asked to review the sample trade with their business. * Actions [Carried Forward] RI to find out what events option Expiration Dates are commonly confirmed relative to for gas, power, bullion, coal and oil. [New] PS to collate a list of fields to consider for inclusion in an emissions schema. [All] To review and provide feedback on the return swap sample trade. [All] To review and provide feedback on the daily expiring option sample trade. * Next meeting 15:00 UK / 10:00 US Fri 27th November 2009
