9:00 am - 12:00 pm Workshop: Commercial and Administration Issues for Market Data

Standardization of Market Data Contracts and Policies
Market data vendors and consumers are subject to scores of contracts and must comply with hundreds of policies imposed by exchanges and other content providers. Meeting these diverse contractual terms and policies constitutes a significant burden on the industry. There is general agreement among vendors and consumers that they need more uniformity among the contractual terms and policies of their upstream data providers. This session focuses on the opportunities and new developments in standardization of exchange contractual language and policies.

Moderator:
Leo Vozel, Industry Consultant, Jordan & Jordan
Panelists:
Dick Boers, Head of Market Data Services, ING
Geraldine Roche, Senior Supplier Account Manager,Global Data Acquisition, Thomson Financial
Theo Reijnders, Senior Manager Products, Euronext
Michael McCrea, Manager, TSX Datalinx Services, The TSX Group

Current Issues and Practical Challenges: Market Data Auditing
This panel focuses on the current issues and practical challenges related to market data auditing. Issues addressed will probably include: (1) the increasing audit burden on downstream players – especially consumer firms; (2) audit best practices; (3) audit by exchange staff vs. outsourcing; (4) certification vs. audit.

If Not Now, When? The Case for a Market Data Administration Utility
The commercial infrastructure for the market data industry consists of a web of hundreds (thousands?) of administrative relationships and activities among exchanges, content creators, vendors, and consumers. These relationships and activities, which include contracting, service authorizations, reporting, billing, auditing, policy communications, are largely duplicative and are not a source of significant competitive advantage for any of the parties. This session examines the current environment and the opportunity for consolidating these administrative functions under an industry utility. The discussion will focus on both the opportunities and challenges. Which functions could be delegated to a utility? What should a utility's business model be? Should there be a single utility or a number of firms competing to provide these services to exchanges and content providers? What is the role of standard policies and contracts?
