    Subject: [ubl] Resolution 10/6/2002: Negotiations with UN/CEFACT


    Jon,
    Thank you for distributing these materials. As per your brief, key
    issues to meeting business needs for the 'user' community as it relates
    to UBL are:
    
    1. Momentum
    2. Responsiveness to your membership
    
    Are these items driven by priorities of solution providers rather than
    the business needs cited above?
    1. Lose of UBL brand
    2. Publicity - ancillary to #2
    3. Brand marketing - same
    
    Handle separately:
    1. IP issues
    Note:  Meetings earlier in the week seemed to indicate the progress on
    this item, and work within UN/CEFACT was to be confirmed and actively
    addressed.
    
    Near-term assimilation of UBL into ATG as a 'workable' solution: Refer
    to differences between business need and solution provider focus.
    
    With UBL as 'the' standard payload for ebXML, given the global exposure
    of work within UN/CEFACT, can you reasonably expect UBL to be designated
    solely?  A primay goal for ebXML is to enable vertical industry to
    'plug-in', and the actual payload is not constricted and highly
    available (i.e. to EAN.UCC, SWIFT, OAG users, etc).  Is not the UBL goal
    to have our work seen as 'an' ebXML payload?
    
    Recommend you evaluate the premise of the final item and the
    mission/goals of ebXML as a global enabler for eBusiness (unless the
    context of this recommendation is other than I have stated...If so,
    please explain as it would assist the UBL membership).
    
    Thank you.

    Subject: [ubl] Resolution: Negotiations with UN/CEFACT
    
    
    UBL members,
    
    We have recently been discussing a proposal from UN/CEFACT to
    incorporate UBL into the work of the new UN/CEFACT Applied
    Technologies Group (ATG).
    
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-comment/200209/msg00013.html
    
    UN/CEFACT has appointed a team to represent them in negotiations
    regarding this proposal.
    
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200209/msg00003.html
    
    The unification proposal received a fair amount of informal
    discussion during the TC meeting 1-4 October 2002 in Burlington.
    My current personal view is summed up in slides 9 and 10 of the
    report from the closing TC plenary held 4 October.
    
       http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/200210/plen-report-20021004.ppt
    
    The group present at the meeting accepted the following two
    resolutions by common consent.  Since we did not have the quorum
    needed to adopt formal TC resolutions, however, these decisions
    must now be ratified by email.
    
       1. That the following persons be appointed to a negotiation
          team empowered to respond to the recent UBL unification
          proposal from UN/CEFACT:
    
             Jon Bosak (UBL TC chair)
             Mark Crawford (UBL TC vice chair, ATG2 chair)
             Karl Best (OASIS)
             Arofan Gregory
             Stig Korsgaard
             Gunther Stuhec
             Lisa Seaburg
    
       2. That the ground rules for this discussion be as follows:
    
          a. Correspondence with the UN/CEFACT negotiating team will
             take place in an archived mail list to be created by
             OASIS for this purpose.
    
          b. Any agreement arrived at through negotiation will be
             submitted to the TC for formal approval.
    
    If any voting member of the UBL TC objects to the adoption of
    these resolutions, please register such objection via mail to this
    list no later than COB 10 October 2002.
    
    Jon Bosak
    Chair, OASIS UBL TC
