Broker/Slip Leader finalise policy. • XIS technical check. Broker/Slip Leader finalise policy. • XIS technical check (early) + signing • XIS technical check (after placing) + signing • Prepared an “Implementation Guide” • Developed an Implementation Strategy & Plans • Gained Lloyd’s feedback on proposals: • Tax & regulatory checking performed by XIS. • Value XIS checks to safeguard licenses • Will review checking performed • Options 3 & 4 can proceed with Lloyd’s markets • Engaged with broker group (DOC) to implement + now engaging with companies & LMA

  4. Key Features (for all options) • Fully-claused placing document • Use of model wordings and clauses, wherever possible • Leader-only agreement, wherever possible • Early agreement and checking of the wording • Early finalisation of the policy • Monitor performance – to demonstrate achievement • Early delivery of an evidence of coverage for the client

  13. DRAFT: Documentation – Summary. Key Differences: • Option 3 • Broker prepares fully-claused draft LMP policy & agrees with slip-leader • Slip leader invokes XLMS check up-front • XLMS conduct Technical / Regulatory check and confirm to slip-leader & broker • XLMS finalise Policy after signing-down • Contract certainty can be achieved and evidenced to client by inception date • Option 4 • Broker prepares fully-claused draft LMP policy & agrees with slip-leader • Broker invokes XLMS check after signing down • XLMS conduct Technical / Regulatory check and confirm to slip-leader & broker • XLMS finalise Policy after signing-down • Contract certainty can be achieved and evidenced to client by inception date • Both options 3 & 4 can meet our objectives: • Contract Certainty by inception • Evidence of Coverage by inception • After the Lloyd’s Review: • Options 1 & 2 could offer potential for streamlining the process

  14. Process Failures – what can go wrong ? • Significant risk factors: • Changes are applied during placing AND either: • It is not reflected in all documentation • It is wrongly applied • Insufficient agreement is gained • XLMS technical check not satisfactorily completed due to either: • Rejections/queries not being resolved • Unable to complete in a timely fashion due to e.g. • Submitted too late • File queried/rejected • Seasonal peaks • Lack of resource • File lost

  15. CCSG Implementation Planning • Initial Implementations Q1-Q2 2005. 200-300 risks across all classes. • Process options 3 & 4 for Managing Agents. • 1 & 2 possible for companies ? • Classes identified: Aviation (Hull, War, Aviation General); PI; D&O; NA Property Fac R/I; Treaty; Binders; Marine • Performance Monitoring in parallel (broker spreadsheet returns) to monitor key dates achieved. • Brokers identifying possible risks to be processed within initial implementations: Aon, Benfield, Heath Lambert, JLT, Marsh, Miller, Willis • Now engaging with markets (via IUA, LMA & non-IUA companies)

  16. Implementation Timetable • Publish implementation guide (options 3&4) Dec 2004 CCSG • Confirm participants Dec 2004 CCSG • Initial implementations Q1–Q2 2005 CCSG • Initial performance monitoring Q1–Q2 2005 LMSC • Lloyd’s review of checking Q1-Q2 2005 Lloyd’s/XIS • Amend Lloyd’s underwriting req’ts TBC Lloyd’s • Review LMP Policy Guidelines Q1 2005 LMP • Determine impact of Lloyd’s findings Q2 2005 CCSG/MRGE • Publish initial performance results Q1-Q2 2005 MRGE • Evaluate initial implementations Q1-Q2 2005 CCSG/MRGE/XIS • Define strategic technology solution(s) end Q2 2005 CCSG/MRGE • Review service change requests Q3 2005 TBC IUA/LMA/XIS • Publish implementation guide (other options) Q3 2005 TBC CCSG/MRGE • Plan & prepare further implementations Q3 2005 TBC CCSG/MRGE • Commence further implementations Q3-Q4 2005 TBC CCSG
