UBL 2.1

   ACTION (4/30): PB to send updated CEN BII meeting dates.

   PB: Will know schedule after meeting this week; expect to have
   revised meeting dates by next Atlantic con call.  A day has
   been added to the next F2F: now 11-13 June rather than 11-12
   June.

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS TASK GROUP

   PB: Financial group in DK interested in participating.  We keep
   running into concerns that UBL is developing new financial
   document types in competition with existing standards.

   JB: We have stated very clearly and publicly that this is not
   our intention and that the purpose of the group is simply to
   ensure that UBL documents contain the information needed to
   support standards like ISO 20022.  Is there anything we can do
   to make this clearer?

   PB/TonyC: No, this is an educational issue.

CUSTOMIZATION GUIDELINES

   See Pacific call minutes.

   ACTION (3/5): JB to prepare copyright guidelines.

      PB: We also need this.  Our materials are published under
      the Creative Commons license.

      ACTION (5/28): JB to finish this up within the next two
      weeks.

2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

   RESERVE HOTEL ROOM NOW FOR AUGUST MEETING IN MONTR�AL.  You can
   always cancel later.  JB has booked at the Europa; ZR has
   booked at the Marriott; others?

   PB: Planning to attend.

I suggest to slightly change the objective of this task group to
specifically support the SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area)
http://www.ecb.int/paym/sepa/html/index.en.html
http://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/

There are some benefits:
1) To keep UBL in line with one of the main EU objectives
2) We will support ISO20022 (UNIFI) in any case as recommended by SEPA
3) We could then mention that UBL is facilitating SEPA
