*'''[[ISDA]]''': | *'''[[ISDA]]''': Publisher of the {{isdama}} and loads of [[tedious]] [[The ISDA Protocol|protocol]]s, ISDA is, these days, the daddy of the [[industry association]]s. It has an admirable regulatory affairs department — it must do, since it copped basically no flack for [[CDO]]s or [[credit derivatives]] notwithstanding their out-sized contribution to the [[global financial crisis]], to the great chagrin of those [[BBA]] executives who were eviscerated for [[LIBOR]].

Now they don’t touch interbank rates with a barge-pole — no-one would let them even if they wanted to — so they restrict their activities to “enhanc[ing] competitiveness, support[ing] customers and facilitating] innovation”. So that’s nice. | ||

Fun fact: the collective noun for a group of [[industry | Fun fact: the [[collective noun]] for a group of [[industry association]]s — 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.<ref>Namely, that [[title transfer]] arrangements are arrangements involving ''the [[Title transfer|transfer of title]]''.</ref> | ||
