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).
