The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announces that on December 13, 2011, the CFTC’s Technology Advisory Committee (the “TAC”) will hold a public meeting at the Commission’s headquarters in Washington, DC. This year-end meeting will focus on three significant issues facing the futures and swaps industries as the Commission continues to finalize rules under the Dodd-Frank Act. Those issues are: (1) what we can expect to see in the new trading environment of swap execution facilities (SEFs); (2) defining, classifying, and observing high frequency traders (HFTs) and their impact on the markets; and (3) and interim recommendations from the Subcommittee on Data Standardization on universal product and legal entity identifiers, standardization of machine-readable legal contracts, semantics, and data storage and retrieval.
