CC survey – what will happen with the results?

• Will depend on outcome…

• Feedback at market level to FSA a (hopefully) good message

• Any issues will be addressed via the Associations and a reconvened CCPB (if necessary)

• A good message will help with our conversations with FSA on legacy

Legacy in 2008

• Need to determine strategy for dealing with residue – cases where “current documentation prevails” is the best answer

– Insufficient counter parties still in existence

– Live claim in progress

– Little potential for a claim

• In all instances, if the (re) insured wants a policy, firms should do their best to meet this requirement

• FSA interested so need robust plan and consistency across market

• Discussing with representatives from Associations, Lloyd’s and practitioners

• Recommendation to MRG in September

Endorsements

• Objective: streamline documentation and process

• MRG July meeting:

– The work should no longer be referred to as a pilot but should seek to transition to a phased market roll out;

– For brokers and insurers already involved in the pilot this means a concentration on ramping up volumes;

– For those firms yet to get involved, focus on enabling them to do so; and

– Extend the process beyond the current business classes.

Endorsements

• Responding to MRG challenge

– Alignment with MRC - an endorsement code of practice describing what an endorsement, its agreement and its evidence constitutes.

– Alignment with Electronic Processing project - consistency with process and how remote agreement is achieved.

– Interim mechanism - e-mail guidelines for those not yet EP enabled.

– Robust implementation plan for wider adoption of the remote endorsement agreement processes

– More formal documentation for users.
