The Global Technical Committee has reviewed and preliminarily approved the Regulatory Transaction Type and Block Trade Extension. This proposal seeks to provide a field, RegulatoryTransactionType (TBD) to accommodate Dodd-Frank Act 17 part 37 which requires a distinction between required transactions and permitted transactions. The proposal also recommends using the field TrdType(828)=Block swap trade(58) to indicate that the message refers to a block trade.
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 September 25, 2013.
