Committee and Global Exchanges and Markets Committee. The committees continue 
to improve the specification process to ensure that FPL meets its goal of 
delivering appropriate messaging standard solutions for the rapidly changing 
financial markets.

- CFTC Enhancements for Trade Capture Report 
- London Stock Exchange Enhancements

- Enhancements for NYMEX Energy Products 
- Exchange Floor Generated Market Data Proposal 
- Enhancements for Credit Default Swaps Clearing 
- GFXC Enhancements to Support Non-Deliverable Forwards

FIX 5.0 Service Pack 2. Once all feedback has been compiled and implemented, a 
second Release Candidate will be made available for comment before the final 
release. All feedback should be posted to the following dedicated discussion 
forum http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/121.

The comment period for Release Candidate 1 is now open and will run for two
