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.
