Market Reform Page 16 Endorsements Objective: streamline documentation and process MRG July meeting: –The work should no longer be referred to as a pilot but should seek to transition to a phased market roll out; –For brokers and insurers already involved in the pilot this means a concentration on ramping up volumes; –For those firms yet to get involved, focus on enabling them to do so; and –Extend the process beyond the current business classes.

Market Reform Page 17 Endorsements Responding to MRG challenge –Alignment with MRC - an endorsement code of practice describing what an endorsement, its agreement and its evidence constitutes. –Alignment with Electronic Processing project - consistency with process and how remote agreement is achieved. –Interim mechanism - guidelines for those not yet EP enabled. –Robust implementation plan for wider adoption of the remote endorsement agreement processes –More formal documentation for users.
