    With regards to the change to the Events.model in 5.8

    What’s the roadmap for replacing the additionalEvent extension point in nonpublicExecutionReport and similar messages ?
    There are several ways for users to reinstate it privately. Is there a recommended method ?

    The additionalEvent extension point is still available in ReportableEvents.model in eventActivityReport and similar.

    Hi JCP,

    Removal of the additionalEvent extension point has been recognised as an inadvertent error resulting from refactoring of the Events models in FpML 5-8. The Architecture working group is working on reinstating the element in FpML 5-9, and the intention is to issue an erratum for 5-8.

    In general, schema components should not be withdrawn in a minor verion (FpML guarantees backward compatibility within a major version series, unless for exceptional reasons which must be endorsed by the Standards committee).

    You can follow the recent discussions on additionalEvent on the AWG mailing list at: http://www.fpml.org/mg_groups/fpml-awg/

    Best regards,
    Harry McAllister
