TARGET2-SECURITIES PROJECT TEAM WORKING DOCUMENT 20 August 2007 T2S/07/0004 DRAFT V1.0 WORK STREAM 1: T2S SCOPE AND SCHEDULE ACTION PLAN 1. Introduction The Scope and Schedule (S&S) Work-Stream (WS), aims at preparing and delivering this part of the user requirements (UR TG1) dealing with the scope of businesses (including securities and other financial instruments, currencies and external interaction etc) covered and offered by T2S. It also aims at contributing to the description of the overall flow of processes in the context of a high level functional architecture as well as the schedule of the T2S business day. The present note includes the key deliverables and dates for the WS and its associated Technical Group (TG) during the UR phase. Finally a section on the strategy of how to achieve its goals is presented. 2. TG Mandate In conjunction with the work to be undertaken by the TG1 on the T2S Scope and Schedule, WS1 will cover at least the following topics Table 1: Topics covered by TG1: T2S Scope & Schedule Proposed Topics 1. Securities categories 2. Settlement currencies
3. Types of transactions 4. Overall Process Flow 5. Interaction with External CSDs 6. General structure of the operational day 7. Specific deadlines 8. Availability of interfaces and structure of operating hours 9. Start of day procedures 10. End of day procedures For a more detailed analysis on the mandate of TG1, including dependencies with other TGs, please refer to the attached document: 070604_TG1Mandat e_v1.0.doc [TO BE UPDATED IF NECESSARY] These topics are derived from the initial TGs mandates as presented to the ECB Governing Council and the T2S Advisory Group (AG). Should the need emerge to complement or amend the list substantially, guidance and further validation should be sought by the AG. 3. Key Dates and Deliverables The action plan of WS1 is constrained by the following time dimensions: 1. First draft of the T2S UR has been announced for first publication and subsequent market consultation by end 2007 (delivery to the ECB Governing Council by 30 Nov 2007). 2. All TGs are reporting to the Advisory Group (AG) in accordance with the calendar set up by the Coordination Group 1. Within this general timeframe, the key deliverable would be this section of the User Requirements Document (URD) associated with the mandate of TG1, i.e. the UR TG1. A draft of this deliverable will be presented to all AG meetings together with a progress presentation on the work undertaken. The November AG meeting will be most probably reserved for discussing the umbrella document of the URD 1 The role of the Coordination Group (CG) is to: solve any problems of competence between the TGs, ensuring that there are no gaps or overlaps between them; help the Chairperson of the AG to establish the agenda of the AG. The CG is chaired by the AG Chairperson who is assisted by the Secretary of the AG. In addition to the Chairperson and the Secretary, the CG is composed of the chairpersons of the TGs. Page 2 of 8
encompassing all WSs deliverables. The working document may itself be divided in more documents, based on the topics as stated in the mandate. Prior to the final market wide publication, UR have to go through a series of validation steps according to Eurosystem and T2S Rules and Procedures. Such validation steps impose that 1. draft versions of UR TG1 are delivered to the AG Chairperson by Tue 17 July, Thu 6 September, Mon 8 October 2007; 2. Final UR TG1 is delivered to the AG Chairperson by Wed 14 November 2007; 3. the Final Draft of T2S URD is delivered to the ECB Governing Council by 30 November 2007 4. Strategy Aim An adequately defined and market supported UR TG1 on the T2S Scope and Schedule given the time constraint and AG mandate Tools 1. One Deliverable Dossier (Draft UR TG1) and Progress Presentation for each July/September/October AG meetings. It is proposed that the TG1 Chairperson(s) deliver a Progress Presentation of the TG1 work plus a draft of the URD in three AG meetings (July, September, October). This is not a fully fledged progress report but a presentation of the state of play of the work undertaken in TG1. The deliverable dossier for the July AG meeting will most probably concentrate in the market feedback to the Consultation Paper and its impact on TG1 work (deadline for feedback: 27 June 2007). The AG presentation is also the opportunity for asking guidance/validation where appropriate. The November AG meeting will be most probably reserved for discussing the umbrella document of the URD encompassing all WSs deliverables. 2. Broad and continuous contact with the market (NUGs). Draft Working documents (excluding Mandates and Actions Plans) to be circulated to NUGs in parallel to TG1 members. Some of them in the form of proper three week consultation/surveys as stated in the Organisation Note and some for general info and potential commenting. 3. Parallel progressing of the WS1 deliverables. It could be assessed whether the two main subdeliverables within the WS1 s Working Document (Scope and Schedule) could be split in two or more parallel processes. The Scope deliverable is already broadly defined by the T2S Principles Paper and the ECB Governing Council decisions. No major amendments are expected here. A survey planed to be launched in mid July should provide the base for re-confirming its Page 3 of 8
assumptions. On the other hand, the Schedule sub-deliverable requires detailed gap analysis of the proposed T2S Timetable (see Operational Feasibility) and the existing frameworks of CSDs/markets. Structure The WS1 s targets will be achieved via the work undertaken in the TG1 and the associated Drafting Group () at the ECB: - TG1 as defined by the Governing Council s decision on the organisation of the first phase of the T2S project of April 26 th, 2007, and operating in line with the Rules of Procedure (published on 22 May 2007).

Another working assumption used is the launch meeting of TG1: 11 June 2007. The draft proposal should be regularly reviewed and validated by its major stakeholders: T2S Programme Manager, UR Coordinator, TG1 Chairperson(s).
