If anybody can find an online source for the technical specifications of CHATS message format and protocol, please link it up. Thanks. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 13:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC) reply

It was brought to my attention that the article uses too many primary sources. So I have found some third-party sources which I plan on using to add content after I find the time to read through them. Namely, I found reports on CHATS written by the Bank for International Settlements, Japan's Ministry of Finance, and a New York-based group called eStandardsForum [1]. If anybody finds any other third-party sources, please link them up. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 15:45, 16 September 2008 (UTC) reply
