Sensitivity definition

==============

We discussed the issue that Christian Nentwich raised (i.e. that sensitivities contain an attribute that arguably contains business content), and Andrew Parry’s proposal to change the sensitivity element into a complex type that contains information describing the sensitivity (e.g. the bucket).  We decided that since most of the elements in the new representation are optional, it can be used to represent sensitivities very much as before, except there there is one additional level of nesting.

 

We agreed in principle to make the change that Andrew proposed.  To maintain backward compatibility, we will allow a choice of the existing or the new approach (at least during the 4.x series) but we will document that the new approach is preferred and the old one is deprecated.

 

Actions:

-          Andrew will update the 4.2 schema to add in his new types, coding schemes, enumerations, etc. to form a basis for the updated schema.

-          After this is done, Brian will review and update the schema to make the change, and circulate to the group.

 

Position Definition

=============

We discussed the BPWG Position representation changes and Marc reported that these have been incorporated in the FpML 4.2 trial recommendation.  (This, for example, adds a mandatory position identifier to each position).

 

AOB

===

Vlad discussed an interest in sensitivities and market inputs for correlation curves based on default percentage buckets.

Andrew suggested that additional usage guidelines and/or validation rules would be helpful to understand how to use the PRWG definitions.

 

Next meeting:

==========

We will have another meeting once the above actions have been completed.  This is likely to be in 3-4 weeks.
