The Global Technical Committee has reviewed and preliminarily approved the ESMA RTS2 Segmentation Criteria Gap Analysis. The purpose of this document is to fill in the gap to the FIX Protocol Application Layer standard to meet the requirements for ESMA RTS 2 Annex III Sections 2–11 Segmentation Criteria. ESMA RTS 2 specifically addresses the data standards and formats for financial instrument transparency reference data.
The document now enters a public comment period in which public review and feedback is encouraged. Once the public comment period closes, the Global Technical Governance Board will meet to review public comments before final approval.
Please post feedback, comments, and questions as replies to this discussion thread.

The public comment period ends on November 7, 2017.
