Everyone,
Thank you for agreeing to participate in the gap analysis for futures and options on futures relative to the FIX 4.2 standard. The end goal is to develop a proposal for the FIX protocal organization for additions to FIX to fully support futures and options.
I would like to schedule a conference call for Tuesday May 8, 2001 at 10:00 CDT to discuss our approach, agree on time frames and get us started on this project. Please confirm back to me you availabilty to participate in the call. I anticipate it will be for approximately 30-45 minutes.
Attached for your reference is an initial draft of a gap analysis that I put together as a starting point, there is additional information in the futures working group section of fixprotocol.org that you might find
helpful. (UPLOADED TO THE FUTURES & OPTIONS WORKING GROUP)
