          face-to-face meetings.
    
       Liaison reports
    
          AS: TBG17: UBL is well represented, and UBL participation
          continues to build.
    
          SW: It would be helpful for TBG17 to know when UBL will be
          submitting ACCs as agreed in Stockholm.
    
          JB: Will put this on the Atlantic agenda for TM.
    
       Subcommittee report: TSC
    
          AS: Still trying for a meeting this week.
    
       Review of Atlantic call of 12 September
    
             ACTION (8/15): JB to begin an email conversation
             regarding the proposed namespace-based versioning
             mechanism with selected people outside the UBL TC,
             starting with the Danish government (PB), HL7 (Ann
             Wrightson), and ACORD; to include GKH, MG, TonyC, BH, and
             ZR.
    
                GKH: The discussion has restarted but is approaching a
                conclusion.
    
       Support Page submissions
    
          AGREED to create a new section: "UBL-related contributions
          from academia"; same basic review process as other additions
          to the Support Page.
    
    2008 TC WORK SCHEDULE
    
       Setting basic 2008 targets so that we can begin constructing a
       timeline.  This will include both the 2.0 Update Package and
       UBL 2.1 scheduling.
    
       As TM was unable to attend due to travel in Europe, this will
       be put on the agenda of this week's Atlantic call.
    
    2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE
    
       28 Jan - 1 Feb 2008 in Manhattan
    
          Due to a conflict with an X12 meeting and a CEN/ISSS BII
          workshop meeting the same week, we will ask in the Atlantic
          call whether moving the meeting to the week before or the
          week after is a possibility.  (It may not be.)
    
       March 2008 in Rome (together with UBL International Day)
    
          Discussion still in progress among the organizers of the ID.
    
       August 2008 in Montr�al
    
          Facilities have been promised for the week of 4 August (the
          week prior to the Balisage conference in the same location).
          We need to formally confirm this.
    
          AGREED to these dates for the meeting in Montr�al.
    
       January 2009 in Fremantle
    
          Still tentative.
    
    UPDATE PACKAGE
    
       ACTION: JB to write up a list of specific work items.
    
    CL TRANSFER (TRACKING)
    
       ACTION: JB to add to the update work list the items relating to
       the CLR TC decision to take over the CL Methodology work.
    
          JB/GKH: This means: update the genericode files to
          genericode 1.0 (as opposed to just correcting errata).
    
    PACIFIC ACTION ITEMS FROM MANHATTAN (TRACKING)
    
       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.
