    Merchants Payment Coalition Meeting

    Meeting Between Federal Reserve Staff and Merchants Payment Coalition November 2, 2010 Participants: Representatives of the Merchants Payment Coalition (MPC), Walmart, Sears Financial Services, Publix Super Markets, The Kroger Co., Best Buy, 7-11, Charming Shops, and Supervalu. Louise Roseman, David Mills, Robin Prager, Mark Manuszak, Edith Collis, Chris Clubb, Dena Milligan, Joshua Hart, Stephanie Martin, David Stein, and Ky Tran-Trong (Federal Reserve Board); Julia Cheney (Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia) Summary: Federal Reserve staff met with representatives of the MPC, merchants and other individuals representing merchants (collectively referred to as "merchants") to discuss the interchange fee provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). MPC is a trade organization that represents about 2.7 million retail stores. Using prepared materials, representatives of the merchants outlined economic principles of regulation and expressed views as to their preferred approaches for implementing the interchange fee provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Specifically, representatives of the merchants expressed their preference for a presumptive at-par interchange fee, limiting the fraud adjustment to issuer-specific actions that demonstrably prevent fraud, imposing limits on fees charged to merchants, and requiring at least two networks per authorization method on a debit card. A copy of the prepared materials is attached. [note1 A revised version of the materials distributed at the meeting has been attached to this summary at the request of MPC.

    World Youth Day 2008 A First Look at the Survey Findings (pilgrim nationalities combined) A briefing paper for Sydney World Youth Day Administration Pilgrims’ Progress 2008 Research Project on the World Youth Day in Sydney Research Team: Michael Mason & Ruth Webber (ACU), Andrew Singleton (Monash) APPENDIX I Comments on the organisation of World Youth Day, Difficulties experienced by pilgrims, and Suggestions for the organisers of World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid Introduction The post-World Youth Day survey of November 2008 invited write-in responses to two questions which will be of special interest to WYD organisers: 1) “Write here any feedback you would like to give about the organisation of World Youth Day 2008 -- e.g. the program of events, the registration process, communication of information, travel arrangements, food and accommodation, facilities etc. Your comments will be passed on to the appropriate departments. This is also the place to offer any suggestions you would like to make on these topics for WYD in Madrid in 2011.” 2) “If there was something else that significantly spoiled the experience for you, write it here.” (The responses to this question begin on p. 154 , preceded by a copy of the table recording responses to the ‘fixed-choice’ part of the question.) Because of their value to organisers, these written comments are reproduced here in their entirety. Although the main text of the Briefing Paper deals only with Catholic respondents up to age 35, these restrictions have been removed in this section, which contains all 1453 comments received. 2 Female 48 Canada Youth In Europe - our travel company - did an EXCELLENT job in all aspects of our travels.
