I am requesting a special meeting of the GTC Governance Board meeting to address the withdrawal of EP96 and the issuance of an errata for FIX.5.0SP2 . The PartyDetail messages will be changed significantly by EP105. The messages are not backwardly compatible. There was a notice sent out via the discussion forum recommending that the message not be adopted. The proposed withdrawal would prevent ill advised implementation of hte current SP2 messages on the part of our members and the FIX community overall and will also simplify repository maintenance considerably. > New messages for Parties Reference Data were first introduced in FIX 5.0 > Service Pack 2. > > Since their introduction, new business use cases have emerged, and in > the ongoing work to extend the messages, we have found a number of > simplifications and optimizations that could be made while still > retaining all of the original business functionality. > > This refactoring of the Parties Reference Data messages was reviewed > last week by the Global Exchanges and Markets Committee. At the meeting, > it was noted that while these changes are beneficial, they are also > substantial, and will be different in structure from what was released > in FIX 5.0 SP2. > > We would like to know whether firms are already implementing the FIX 5.0 > SP2 Parties Reference Data messages, or if they are planning to do so. > > FIX 5.0 SP2 cannot be modified except to fix errata items, so FPL cannot > change the messages in SP2.
