A derivatives industry group is proposing new rules intended to mitigate conflicts of interest on a panel of bond dealers and investors that determines when traders are paid on contracts linked to defaulted borrowers.

It also seeks to prohibit members from discussing decisions among each other outside of committee meetings.
Members of the committee, which includes JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Pacific Investment Management Co., are set to vote on the proposals Thursday, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified discussing a private meeting.
