       Additions to the calendar:
          http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm
    
          8 March in Hong Kong: Forum on electronic transaction
          development (Thomas Lee, Tim McGrath)
    
       Liaison report: ebBP TC
    
          SG: ebBP TC is ok with breaking out the process definitions
          for UBL 2.0 as a separate deliverable.  (See last week's
          Pacific call.)
    
       Subcommittee report: SBSC
    
          SG: 1.0 SBS public review is now finished.  No comments were
          received.  We may need to make minor editorial changes to
          the BPSS definitions.
    
          JB: Time to go to committee spec.
    
          SG: Have now produced two separate packages for UBL 2 SBS
          and am waiting for finishing touches to the BPSS definition
          and CPA package from Sacha Schlegel.
    
          JB: Sacha must become a TC member to join the SBSC.
    
          SG: It's time to put the 2.0 SBS into intial public review.
    
          AS: Does the SBS include transport?
    
          SG: No, that would be out of scope for a [procurement
          oriented] subset.  We could make another subset by taking
          the SBS and adding to it the elements that transport would
          need, using the same methodology.
    
          AS/SG/TM: Let's call the current SBS "UBL 1.0 SBS for
          procurement" and create a "UBL 2.0 SBS for procurement" and
          a "UBL 2.0 SBS for export."
    
          ACTION: TM to develop a preliminary project plan for
          integrating the SBS with the 2.0 package and report back
          2/28.
    
       Liaison report: UN/CEFACT
    
          JB: Call scheduled for 2/23. We need to know CEFACT's plan
          for integrating UBL as a CEFACT specification into the ODP
          process.
    
          TM: CEFACT is apparently trying to deal with ODP-related
          issues separate from UBL.
    
          JB: Expect to learn more about this 2/23.
    
       Subcommittee report: HISC
    
          GKH: Denmark not in the meeting last week, so could not
          proceed.  We need sample instances to demonstrate formatting
          specifications.  We did get an Order sample from SG, but we
          need at least the other seven [in the 1.0 set].  We did get
          a list of doc types of interest to dk in an HISC posting.
    
       Team report: Code Lists
    
          GKH: Have just posted what I think are the February
          deliverables for Code Lists, including lines 5 and 11 on the
          support materials schedule using the January data models.
          The support schedule is missing line items for (1) code list
          contributions to NDR and (2) the UBL specification of
          genericode 0.3.  GKH is the only responsible party for lines
          5 and 11, both of which were delivered today.  The missing
          NDR contributions belong to TonyC and MartyB; the missing
          line item for the formalization of gc 0.3 belongs to TonyC.
          Ken Sall has presented on this code list methodology at
          SAIC, and others outside of UBL are interested as well.  The
          TC should review the methodology just posted.  I'm now
          stepping away from CL and moving on to HISC.
    
          JB: Please express our heartfelt thanks to Kathryn for
          supporting you in this work.
    
       Subcommittee report: PSC, TSC
    
          TM: The spreadsheets in the PRD have invalidly populated
          columns for SBS on the right; these will be removed for
          final publication.  They will still be in the spreadsheets
          included in the SBS package.
    
       Review of Atlantic call
    
          SW: MG's quote of the statement regarding ATG2 UDT arrived
          at in Manhattan confirms my initial impression.  Now we need
          UBL rules for creation of UDT datatypes and QDT, that is,
          rules to implement the UDT.  Once you import the schema,
          what do you do with it?  Lacking rules, GEFEG can create a
          workaround, but it will require considerable programming,
          and we can't guarantee to meet the schedule.  ... These are
          rules that were originally in UBL 1.0 NDR but were taken out
          when we decided to use ATG2 UDT; now that we've decided not
          to use the ATG2 methodology, those rules need to be
          replaced.
    
          ACTION: SW to identify the 1.0 rules corresponding to the
          ones that need to be put into 2.0 NDR in time for this
          week's Atlantic call.
    
       Schedule review
          http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200602/msg00066.html
    
          AS: What's the meaning of the continuation at the end of the
          initial 2.0 public review?
    
          JB: It means that we are accepting input from UN/CEFACT TBG1
          and TBG3 following the meeting in Vancouver.
    
          TG: We expect that input to be informal resulting from
          interactions at the meeting.
    
          AS: What about issues that are not specifically about
          procurement or transport content?
    
          TM: Those become general issues for the TC.
    
       Issues review
          http://www.eccnet.com/UniversalBusinessLanguage/IssuesList.xml
    
          JB: What do we have in mind for this standing item?
    
          TM: We should use it to ask whether there are
          non-domain-specific issues discovered by the SCs that should
          be added to the issues list.
    
    MEETINGS DURING THE UN/CEFACT FORUM
    
       From the Atlantic call 2006.02.08:
    
          JB: (Regarding meetings during the March UN/CEFACT Forum)
          Atlantic calls 3/8, 3/15, and 3/22 will occur as scheduled
          and will be chaired by MC if JB and TM are not available.
          We may cancel the Pacific calls.
    
       Discussion: The weeks of 3/7, 3/13, and 3/22 are not good for
       most regular Pacific call participants.
    
       AGREED: We will not hold Pacific TC calls the weeks of 3/7,
       3/13, and 3/22.  We will hold Atlantic TC calls those weeks (as
       agreed above) but will designate those as "work sessions"
       rather than official TC meetings since people won't have an
       opportunity to dial in to the Pacific calls to maintain voting
       membership.

    Chair, OASIS UBL TC
