CFTC Ex Parte Meeting: Teleconference with Newedge

Representatives of Newedge discussed with the CFTC staff questions regarding eligible collateral, capital charges for uncollateralized trades and calculation methods for margin and capital charges for SDs. Newedge expressed special interest in the approval processes for the use of risk models, and whether they are internal, third party, or DCO-linked. Staff informed Newedge that these issues are still undecided, pending coordination efforts with other regulatory bodies.
