Group Charter
Scope: Develop FpML schemas and examples, coding schemes, and supporting documentation to support the Part 20 reporting effort. Specific objectives will include:
- Review Part 20 reporting requirements published* by the CFTC and identify any gaps or areas of lack of clarity.
- Develop and review schemas and examples corresponding to the CFTC regulations .
- Identify any additional product types or scenarios that would require additional examples.
- Resolve any representation issues that would prevent the efficient production and effective use of the report.
- Ensure that all necessary coding scheme have been identified, initial values defined, and process for maintenance defined.
Meeting Schedule: The group will meet once a week for one hour by teleconference: Wednesdays (at 12pm New York / 11am central / 5pm London) We'll have additional thread meetings as needed. Rules of Operation: The working group will adopt the FpML Working Group Rules of Operation. These outline best-practices for meetings, managing member participation, reaching group consensus and voting. Estimated time commitment from Participants: Members should be prepared to commit approximately 2-4 hours per week for meeting participation and document review. Full members must have the agreement and support of their management before signing up to the Working Group. It is expected that participants will be signing up for action items and proposals, and will generally be participating in discussions during the week. Participants will also need to liaise with other working group members to ensure the consistency of the standard. Experience has shown that occasional face-to-face meetings can expedite the process so members should be aware that some travel and full-day meetings might be required Target Participants: Business analysts, technical architects, business specialists
