20. FIWG Proposed Booking Report Used to report each portion of an Allocation Could this be our Allocation Report? Or is this really a position report?

21. Proposed Instrument Model

23. Parties Block 3 CME 3 D 560 4 D CUSTACCT12345 5 D 560 CUST

24. 10/24 FIA comments Will delivery instructions be part of the positions report? (NYMEX Question) Corporation Action Data - very high level of interest Reduced message size in XML description –NYMEX has adopted universal trade message - tried to convert to tag# (human readability issue) - ultimately they went to attributes instead of elements - brought down size of XML message –Trades would be okay - orders would be an issue Date and Time block - associate different times
