I'd have to go back and look at it to see if it would work at all for an interest rate or currency deal. Do you think I should do that? Hopefully not or at least not til after 1/1.

With respect to your request for a Deemed ISDA Confirm for the referenced counterparty, I checked with Yao, our paper guru, and he said there is no special reason or precedence for using the Deemed ISDA confirmations for the paper boys (unless maybe if they did a really long-dated trade). He said we could go ahead and use the omnibus. Just because we hope to sign an ISDA, doesn't necessarily mean we use the Deemed ISDA confirmations. In practice, we tend to use the Deemed ISDA's for international counterparties, for the interest rate and currency desk (because a lot of their counterparties are banks and dealers and more familiar with the ISDA's, unlike our energy counterparties). Call me with any questions...
