What is an ISDA protocol?

Protocols are a means of amending ISDA's standard form documents in a quick and practical way. The amendments suggested by ISDA in the protocols can be incorporated into parties' existing documents by those parties agreeing, or “adhering”, to that protocol.

This guidance note describes how and why one would adhere to a protocol and lists the protocols currently open for adherence.
