An observant negotiator (is there any other kind?) handling a 1992 ISDA might wish to add a new agency rep as Section 3(a)(vi). The framers of the ISDA Master Agreement obviously thought this was such a good idea that they added a brand-new no-agency rep to the 2002 ISDA, only they can’t have felt it was basic enough to go in the Basic Representations, so they put it in a new clause all by itself at Section 3(g).
But you don’t need a bespoke no-agency rep if you’re on a {2002ma}}, if that’s what you’re wondering.
