Did you get any responses to this posting ?. I consider it a matter of great strategic interest. I do not think it is "a matter of course" that orgainisations will implement FIX allocations as established ETC procedures existed long before FIX had any significant usage. Given that there is little competition to FIX in the IOI, Order, Execution area, it does seem to make a huge amount of sense to carry the structure through the entire ETC process.

I for one would very much like to know sell side capabilities in this area, both in the US and in the rest of the world.

Anyone ?
