    Subject: Quorum call: Hong Kong


    ACTION: All UBL TC members must, at their earliest opportunity,
    inform me (jon.bosak@sun.com) and Mark Crawford
    (mcrawford@lmi.org) whether or not they will be attending the Hong
    Kong UBL TC meeting in person.  Details follow.
    
    Hello UBL TC,
    
    In addition to our focus on UBL localization, relations with
    vertical industry groups, and planning for UBL 1.1, our meeting
    10-14 May in Hong Kong will also be the occasion for the post-1.0
    TC structural reorganization that we've been forecasting since the
    November meeting in San Francisco.  From a procedural standpoint,
    we will be able to operate much more effectively in working out an
    appropriate subcommittee structure for the TC if we have a quorum
    in Hong Kong.  But achieving a quorum is going to be even more
    difficult than usual because the time zone will make phone
    attendance almost impossible for most people who are not able to
    attend the meeting in person; the opening plenary at 9 a.m. local
    time Monday will be starting at 21h00 Sunday in Washington and
    02h00 Monday in London, while the closing plenary at 11 a.m. local
    time Friday will be starting at 23h00 Thursday in Washington and
    04h00 Friday in London.  Since phone participation during the week
    seems even more unlikely, I am considering whether we should be
    putting our hosts to the trouble of setting up calls at all.
    
    In any case, it's clear that we will need to know as soon as
    possible who will be present in Hong Kong so that we can see
    whether or not we will need to ask absent members to fall back to
    observer status or take a leave of absence.  We also need to know
    projected attendance ASAP so that we can give our hosts a clear
    picture of our facilities requirements.  So I am requesting
    immediate action from all members and observers of the UBL TC as
    follows:
    
     - If you are a voting member of the TC, you must contact Mark and
       me ASAP to tell us whether you intend to be present in person
       at the meeting in Hong Kong.
    
     - If you are a voting member of the TC and will not be attending
       in person but can seriously commit to attending by phone (note
       the times above), let us know that.
    
     - If you are any reader of this list (member, observer, or reader
       of the mail archive) and you wish to attend the Hong Kong
       meeting in person, please contact me to discuss this.  We
       always welcome observers, but I will need to let our hosts know
       who's coming.
    
    Best regards,
    
    Jon Bosak
    Chair, OASIS UBL TC
