RE: FpML-CD meeting reminder: Wed July 16th, 9am NY/2pm LDN -- meeting notes



Thanks for attending today’s call -- a summary appears below.

 

Attendees:

Marc Gratacos               (ISDA)

Ben Lis                         (T-Zero)

Lyteck Lynhiavu             (ISDA)

Rupali Parab                  (GS)

Andrew Parry                 (JPM)

Henri Pegeron                (DTCC)

Irina Yermakova             (ISDA)

 

Meeting Recap:

1. ISDA2003CreditFixedRecoverySwap Proposal The group moved to add the ISDA2003CreditFixedRecoverySwap value to the contractualSupplementScheme. The new version of this scheme will appear in the next published version of the FpML schema. Ben, Henri, Jamie Orme and Marc will verify that the examples of Fixed Recovery Swaps are updated to reflect this additional scheme value.

 

2. ELCDS Proposal

Henri walked the group through his proposal for adding support the ISDA European Loan CDS template (i.e. “CDS on Leveraged Loans”). There was general support for moving this proposal forward. The proposal does call for new elements to be added to the Obligations complex type. This raised the question as to whether we should go with the 4.x empty element approach or the MTF endorsed explicit Boolean type that we are adopting in 5.0. After the call, Ben contacted the coordination group for guidance on how to move forward.

 

3. Wrapping up MTF Work

Marc provided us a status report on his efforts to incorporate all MTF changes in the current subschema. This involves not only structural changes to the schema but also changes to the annotations. When this work is completed, Marc will circulate to the CDWG for review.

 

4. Loan CDS and CDS on MBS Validation and the Examples

Marc has discovered that there are validation errors arising with our current Loan CDS and CDS on MBS examples. He feels we probably need to revise our validation rules (i.e. rules are being triggered that should not be applied to a Loan CDS or CDS on MBS). Marc and Rupali will investigate further and suggest validation rule changes back to the CDWG.     

 

5. AOB

Marc reminded the group that the extended use of entityType suggest by GS is still under consideration. We still need to raise these concerns addressed by Karel:

 

The entity type for FTD baskets has exactly the same role as the transaction type for the matrix or the MCA’s. It has been suggested in the legal groups that this should be standardized and that the FTD elections should be the same as the matrix transaction types. There seems to be agreement on the principle but it was never prioritized on the legal side.

By introducing entity type for single names ( and leaving the current differences aside given the intent to harmonize that at one point) you would duplicate the information already available in the transaction type. Why not use the transaction type instead?”

Next meeting is scheduled for July 30th, 2008.
