Discussion
- Views for short-form confirmations

The idea is to use the views mechanism to separate the schema representation of short and long form confirmations. Different working groups apply different modelling approaches to the representation of short and long form confirmations. By applying the views mechanism, the result should be a simpler schema representation and with less optionality for both short and long form confirmations.

Even though there was agreement among participants that this is a very good idea. There were some issues that were pointed out:

The agreement was to get additional feedback from the Coordination Committee to see whether participants are interested in using views to distinguish between short and long form confirmations.

- Trade Execution
The relationship with trade affirmation and between trade affirmation and confirmation is not clear. 

The participants in the meeting expressed that execution, affirmation, and confirmation could be three separate processes. According to BGI, the trade is executed, and then it gets validated in the affirmation process before it is sent to a confirmation provider or to other recipient.

Additional input from institutions is necessary in order to have a clear definition of the processes.

- Option Exercise/Expiry
It will be discussed it in the next meeting. Marc will circulate a proposal.

Please let me know if I missed any point. Thanks in advance.
We'll meet again in August 15.
