1. Review & understanding of subcommittee charter

Whilst the interest of the subcommittee will be the broader use of UBL beyond the Australian DBC eInvoicing initiative there are some potential gaps the are in need of UBL thought leadership.

2. Review of roles and responsibilities

Ken provided an overview of his role and tools made available to the community, which includes schema generation, validation and documentation.

All members should make the effort to review artefacts and materials.

There is a conduit for community non-members to feedback to the UBL TC & SC via the public comment list.

3. Discussion on subcommittee's relationship with TC

The subcommittee cannot approve work products. They can produce and recommend for the TC to accept. The review of work products by the broader community is essential and ensures the localisation is in line with the overall standard.

Subcommittee abbreviation should be ALSC
