Re: Input needed: US Federal Reserve Payments Position Paper

Pindar, I'd share you thought on that in many scenarios, but the people who
will be looking at these submissions are a sophisticated lot, and I cannot
imagine that a high-level reference to specific existing international
guidelines and standards, without any details, would confuse them.  If
anything, my expectation is that there's a significant proportion of middle
to middle-senior staff inside the Fed dearly hoping at least some external
stakeholders would raise such matters, so they they can be empowered work
towards aligning Fed ops with international standards.
