http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm
AS: UBL will be represented in the 12-16 November TBG17
meeting in Paris by TL and AS.
Liaison reports
AS: The TBG17 task force is researching the submission
template columns to see where to put things.
Subcommittee report: TSC
AS: Held a meeting last week. Happy to report that we got
the license for Adobe Connect, and it looks like it's going
to be very useful. The next meeting will be held in two
weeks.
Review of Atlantic call
No comments.
Support page submissions
None this week.
2008 TC WORK SCHEDULE
Moved back here from a guest appearance in the Atlantic call.
"TM: We can expect a comprehensive set of UBL 2.1 requirements
from the BII workshop in May 2008. Other than that, we don't
have firm dates yet, but I will send some in email after
discussions this week.
ACTION: JB to construct a straw work schedule upon receipt of
dates."
AGREED to attempt completion of the 2.0 Update Package at the
UBL TC meeting in Manhattan (Jan/Feb 2008). (Note that this is
a deliverable separate from UBL 2.1.)
UPDATE PACKAGE
ACTION: JB to write up a list of specific work items.
Status: List went out last week; we will discuss JPLSC
comments beginning with next week's Pacific call.
ACTION: GKH to write up the "Candidate Decision Regarding Code
List Support" as amended 10 May 2007.
Pending.
Note that this relates directly to the architecture of the
Update Package.
AS: We need to organize UBL 2.0 in a way that makes it more
understandable.
JB: That's a job for writers of books and tutorials. But if we
can identify specific things that will make UBL more
accessible, then we should certainly implement them in 2.1.
2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE
28 Jan - 1 Feb 2008 in Manhattan
Still considering the possibility that this might be moved
if we can be sure of significant added CEN/ISSS BII
participation as a result. To be settled in this week's
Atlantic call.
GKH/AS: Could do the week before but not the week after
(GKH: Will be unavailable all of February).
March 2008 in Rome (together with UBL International Day)
Discussion still in progress among the organizers of the ID.
JB: Note that April would be (if anything) even better than
March, though we will have to avoid conflicting with the
7-11 April UN/CEFACT Forum meeting in Mexico City.
4-8 August 2008 in Montr�al
Confirmed. Hotel Europa, rue Drummond.
January 2009 in Fremantle
Still tentative.
TC CONCALL SCHEDULE
See
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200710/msg00012.html
for the October/November call schedule.
JB: Note that next week's Pacific call will begin at 4:30 PT /
7:30 ET for callers in the U.S.
GKH: Will be unavailable the week of 12/10 and probably 12/3;
OK for the week of 12/17.
JB: We will probably cancel calls the week of 12/3 anyway due
to the XML 2007 conference. This would give us the following
tentative December/January schedule:
Week of 12/03 Skip
Week of 12/10 Regular schedule

PACIFIC ACTION ITEMS FROM MANHATTAN
ACTION: PSC and TSC to provide feedback on UBL 2.0 SBS 2.0:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23873
Pending.
ACTION: PSC and TSC to summarize business rules that are (1)
wanted in UBL but not allowed by [i.e., capable of being
addressed by] the NDR (e.g., requirement to include one of
PartyName and PartyIdentifier but not both) and (2) data items
whose constraints are inherited from another standard (e.g.,
lengths of data items specified by UNTDED); the rules so
identified to become candidates for a list of schematron
assertions "recommended to be included" (final characterization
TBD).
Pending.
