Hi FINOS Community,
Hope you are all well.
On the back of the success of the modelling efforts run last year as part of the Legend Open Source we are keen to take that momentum and tackle some new problem statements.
The Financial Objects project feels like the right place to position these and therefore I will be happy to host (and would prefer a co-host to join me) the FO project such that we create a space for modelling opportunities driving and improving the interactions between parties in the financial industry. Keen to keep the scope broad such that other problem statements can be explored in the future.
Please refer to the following git issues that tracked the discussions a few months back choose new project leads for FO and RFC: the future of Financial Objects.
The two project proposals we are committing to and we believe belong under the FO umbrella are: i) reviewing and enhancing the ISDA CDM for commodities options (commodities payout terms) and ii) creating a common template for product control price dissemination (product control common template).
If there are no objections raised in the next week we will move forward on the basis that the Financial Objects project is re-instated and these two groups are set up under that umbrella. Please do reach out if you would be interested in co-hosting the Financial Objects project.
The two modelling efforts will be meeting over the next two weeks so please join the kick-off sessions (details below).

Hi Ffion, FINOS Community,
This is a very exciting development and ISDA is very happy to participate and see more development of financial data models via the FO project, particularly to help extend CDM or provide standards which are complementary to our goals for CDM.
If you would like ISDA to help co-host that is something we would be happy to do. Let’s discuss that.
Thanks
Regards
Ian
