The Registration Management Group

The ISO 20022 Registration Management Group (RMG) is made of senior industry experts nominated by ISO TC68 P-member countries and category A liaison organisations. The RMG is the highest ISO 20022 registration body: it monitors the overall registration process and reports directly to ISO TC68.

The RMG defines the scope of necessary SEGs, approves business justifications for new messages and allocates them to one or more SEGs. The RMG also acts as a ‘court of appeal' in case of conflicts between the RA, the TSG, the SEGs and the organisations that want to develop ISO 20022 messages (submitting organisations).

It has 34 delegations from the following TC68 P-member countries and category A liaison organisations:

Australia	Japan	UK	SIIA/FISD
Austria	Korea	US	SWIFT
Brazil	Luxembourg	Clearstream	TWIST
Canada	The Netherlands	Euroclear	VISA International
China	Norway	European Central Bank (ECB)
Denmark	The Russian Federation	European Payments Council (EPC)
Finland	Singapore	FIX Protocol Ltd
France	South Africa	IFX Forum
Germany	Sweden	ISDA/FpML
Italy	Switzerland	ISITC

The RMG was created in 2004 and had its first meeting in January 2005.  The RMG convenor is Gerard Hartsink (NL) and the vice convenor is Robert Blair (US).
