DRM Working Group (now DRM Project)

  • This working group is dormant pending internal JPMC discussions.
Former user (Deleted)
  • Rob recommended that the PMC give the DRM project (i.e., Former user (Deleted)) until the next PMC meeting and if the working group (project) still can't move forward that the project be archived and additionally hidden on the FINOS website and DT wiki; the PMC agreed to move forward on that recommendation.
  • Rob Underwood (Deactivated) to follow up with Former user (Deleted)

  • Kx not interested in being involved for now.
  • JPMC hoping to have someone new join the call who might have more cycles to look at code.

5 minSecurity Reference Working Group updateSailesh Pandey
  • Sailesh unable to join today.
  • The Bloomberg presentation at the last SRD meeting indicated that Legal Entity Identifier is becoming required by European regulators.  However, won't be widespread in the near future and therefore won't be a drop-in solution.
