The Joint Chiefs of Staff

Fun fact: the collective noun for a group of industry associations — seldom used, because so rare and disconsolate are the circumstances in which they get together — is a “torpidity”. The most famous torpidity of all is the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Industry Associations, an august body comprising personnel from usually-sworn-enemy organisations like ISDA, ICMA, ISLA and FIA, who convened for a beautiful moment of no-mans-land-Christmas-football in 2015 to formulate the Article 15 SFTR disclosure document, a fifteen-page, 5,000 word exercise in stating the bleeding obvious.[1]
