       Additions to the calendar:
          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
          Week of 12/17 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.
