In the effort to implement the far-reaching restructuring of the over-the-counter derivatives market contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank"), two particular developments currently stand out for corporate end-users. First, the opening of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association's ("ISDA") DF Protocol (the "Protocol") on August 13, 2012; second, the rapidly approaching deadline for an end-user to determine whether it will elect to avail itself of the commercial end-user exception to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's ("CFTC") requirement for the mandatory clearing of swaps.
