- Identify member firms that have interest in consuming the data
- Initiate project viability study with member firms. Any compliance or regulatory restrictions.
- Find out whether it would amount to any breach of data distribution with existing vendors such as Bloomberg
| - Define the object model or definition of the Agency bond.
- Identify Mandatory vs Optional attributes.
- Document the life cycle of the Agency bond and what would be supported by the FINOS group - whether Call schedule will be maintained, whether internal prices will be shared etc.
- Agree/ Define relationship with vendors for distribution of the Agency static. (Whether FINOS will own the distribution of the static to BBG etc or whether it would still remain the responsibility of the Financial Institution involved in the underwriting)
