In February, there were a few new developments on the LIBOR replacement/reform front:

The FASB proposed Accounting Standard Updates to allow SOFR to be used as a benchmark rate
The EMMI has decided to stop pursuing EONIA as a valid alternative rate
The Fed announced the publication of the proposed LIBOR alternative rate, SOFR, will begin on April 3, 2018.
The Fed's ARRC announced it will be reconstituted in 2018 to "more directly facilitate issues of legacy contract robustness and transition for cash products as well as derivatives."
