* Minutes

 

Welcome to new group members

 

CA and KD are studying MCA-Annex identification, and ISDA commit to providing a canonical legal name for

each MCA and MCA-Annex going forward, which will be distributed in spreadsheet form. This will provide

the basis for FpML reference data ( coding schemes ).

 

This still leaves the issue of how best to represent current MCA and MCA-Annex values. We will continue to

use the "magic string" where a single string expresses many dimensions ( publisher, original publication date,

product, geographic zone, business relationship )

 

RM identifies the case of Var Swap, where one MCA-Annex applies to many MCAs. We do not have a way to express

and control such relationships. In the past, one MCA-Annex would apply to only one MCA. We must now consider

both document updates, and side letters ( implementation letters )

 

ISDA EQD New Document Architecture should greatly improve referencing of documentation from transactions compared

to the current "Legacy Drafting" MCA and MCA-Annex approach

 

Regarding the consolidated feedback document "TA20100108.doc" provided by TA

1. MCA / MCA Annex values and descriptions

2. Compounding date treatment in EU ( Client ) Index Swap. Need to confirm selection of date complex type to support

all required permutations of compounding

3. US ( Client ) Option. No structural changes

4. Component Security Index "CSI" Annex. Will require new element, similar to Multiple Exchange "MEA" Annexes

 

No update on ISDA legal drafting progress

 

13 Jan will likely be a key date for regulatory reforms in US and Europe http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN057016220100106

 

Group will continue to focus on FpML-4-x series to meet Business and Regulatory requirements, no interest in FpML-5-x.

MarkItSERV have not reviewed FpML-5-x. DTCC will use spreadsheets for Reporting

 

Group will resume regular bi-weekly meeting schedule

 

 

* Decisions

 

1. We will use ISDA MCA and MCA-Annex canonical identifiers for all future reference data ( coding scheme ) values

2. Adopt MCA and MCA-Annex values as per IY

2.1 MCA and MCA-Annex as per spreadsheet extract emailed to group 14:18 Fri 08 Jan 2010

2.2 MCA-Annex value as per email to group 13:50 Fri 08 Jan 2010

2.2.1 we will not use the abbreviation "CIMSO" but keep to the convention of words in upper camel case

3. Group will continue to focus on FpML-4-x to meet Business and Regulatory requirements, no interest in FpML-5-x

4. Next meeting 14:00 LDN Fri 22 Jan 2010
