    – FX WG awaits for Harry McAllister’s proposal to redesign the observed rate model

    FX WG will revisit the issue after the redesigned observed rate model is reviewed by the FX WG.

    Harry commented that it might be too late to make rate observation representation for FX and IRD consistent for FpML 5.x

    I think what I said on the FX WG call was:

    – the IRD RateObservation is over-featured with respect to the Fx requirement, so not appropriate for direct re-use in the Fx context

    – the Fx and IRD models might be made consistent to the extent of factoring out common properties into a base type, from which Fx and IRD rate observations could be specialised

    – this work might not be a high priority for 5-1

    12-09-2010 FX WG reviewed the issue. Andrew Jacobs commented that it is unlikely that any refactoring would happen in the IRD area. The issue can be closed and feedback can be passed to BP WG.

    • We won’t change in 5.x
    • It’s an issue covered by the 6.0 remodelling of the trade representation, having a separation between the parametric and the dynamic representation of the trade. The idea is not to overload the product with dynamic representation (observations, cash flows, etc.)
