WHAT SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY? Data from Issuers –How? Regulatory/Rules or Industry? Business barriers? –XBRL? ISO 20022? Who: exchanges, registrars, wire services, data vendors? –Endorsement – “nice idea” or potential reality? CAJWG, ISSA, US Issuers to Investors, etc. –Skin in the game? Dichotomies? Disincentives? Standards –Incentive to move to ISO 20022? How long coexistence? –How long will legacy, proprietary & non-XML standards survive? –In dynamic world can we wait 21 months for change releases? Market Practice –Evaluate-able (STaQS), but not widespread. Is it complete and accurate? Why isn’t every market committed? –Should it be built-in? Certification for data providers?
