Questions:

 

  1. When are we due to cover Commitment Adjustments, PIK scenarios…?
    These are all covered in upcoming phases of work. Please see the scope matrix in the requirements document.
  2. For L/C notices, why have we not allowed a choice between describing either the L/C summary and the full L/C structure – just like in the loan contract-based notices…?
    It never came up as a requirement. Investigate whether there is a business case to make the (l/c and loan contract) notices consistent with each other.
  3. From a practical implementation perspective, how should vendors manage cancellations…?
    Cancellation notices have not been covered by the standard as yet. Maybe we should scope them into a particular phase…?
    Most vendors are extending basic FpML structures and implementing their own cancellation methodology.
    Other asset classes within FpML do define business event specific messages to allow cancellation and potential re-statement of the event. We would need to create a cancellation message for each business event created so far.
    It was also noted that there may be two cancellation scenarios: a business cancellation and a protocol-transmission error.
    This work should be scoped.
  4. When describing sub-limits should we consider just borrower limits or other kinds of limits…?
    We should be considering all kinds of limits on the deal structure and the best way to represent them in the deal/facility structure. This is not necessarily a trade-related requirement and can be complex. It is currently scoped for an upcoming phase of work.
  5. Should we include any expected settlement date…?
    The business working group agreed to remove those fields from the confirmation.
  6. Delayed compensation. Are there any fields on the confirmation that describe the way in which delayed comp would be calculated…?
    Not on the confirmation. There is a delayed compensation structure which when defined will exist on the funding memo structure and will define arrays of accruals for each type of ‘income stream’ (e.g. fees, interest).
  7. Facility Trade / Upfront Fee. Should this be removed…?
    Need to check with the business working group.
  8. Facility Trade / On Risk Until Date. Should this be removed…?
    Need to check with the business working group.
  9. Trade allocations. What other information will need to be captured at the trade allocation level…?
    Are there additional data points that need to be captured here in addition to the counterparty and the amount (e.g. any settlement details etc…?)
