Calendar (http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/lsc/calendar.htm)

   There is apparently already a UBL submission for XML and Web
   Services 2003 17-19 March 2003 in London.  Sue Probert is
   trying to find out more about this.

   Jon Bosak and Sue Probert will submit papers for XML Europe 2003.

Update: UN/CEFACT unification proposal

   Jon Bosak gave a brief update on this.

Update: review schedule

   Release of the next LC review package is now set for the end of
   December rather than the beginning.  [This has since slipped to
   13 January.]

   The LCSC has received all comments from HL7 and are considering
   them this week in the design review.

Spring UBL TC meeting

   The LSC resolved to recommend to the UBL TC that the Spring UBL
   TC meeting be held in London 28 April through 2 May 2003 (a
   4.5-day schedule) in order to co-locate with the XML Europe
   2003 conference in London the following week.  It was noted
   that Easter Sunday falls on 20 April.

Next UBL Liaison SC meeting

   Our next Liaison SC meeting will take place 8-9 a.m.
   California time Friday 20 December 2003.  [*** But see
   subsequent message on this subject. ***]

Calendar

   TBG2 (procurement) is meeting in Europe next Monday; all TBG
   members have been invited.  Sue and Mike will try to
   participate by phone and will email any news.

Review cycle planning

   ACORD

	 No meetings in Jan-Mar; next tech meeting is 22-25 June 2003
	 in Scottsdale.  Will try for informal review between
	 meetings.

   ARTS

      12-15 Jan 2003: NRF annual convention, Javits Center, NYC

   e.centre

      24-27 Feb 2003: EAN.UCC GSMP meeting, Brussels; Sue Probert
      may attend.  Sue Probert and John Hervey will discuss UBL
      representation at this event offline and report back 20
      December.

   EIDX

      An EIDX Web Services TC is being formed.  A team has signed
      up to review UBL and will hold preliminary conference calls.
      They will be looking at implementation and interoperability,
      specifically betw RosettaNet, OAGIS, and UBL.

      It appears that we need to form an implementation and
      interoperability SC.  Jon Bosak will talk to Bill French
      about this.

      10-14 Feb (tentative): Joint EIDX/OAGI plenary, San Jose or
      San Diego; UBL will be reviewed at this meeting.

      May (TBD): Joint EIDX/AIA plenary, possibly in St. Louis.

      John Hervey will announce and distribute the review package
      and ask for individual feedback during the review cycle

      28-30 Apr 2003: NACS technology conference, Dallas; there
      will be an EB2B workshop; not for tech work; would be a good
      place to make announcements; John will reserve a slot for
      UBL; Jon Bosak will find a speaker for this

   RosettaNet

      24-26 Feb 2003: RosettaNet board meetings, New York City

      will both be reviewed in ATG2.

      10-14 Mar 2003: UN/CEFACT Forum, San Diego: TBG1 would be
      right for Despatch Advice and Receipt Advice, TBG2 for the
      rest.  We plan to raise this with TBG2 at the meeting next
      week.  We note that Hartmut Hermes has resigned as TBG1
      chair.

      3-7 Feb UBL/X12 meeting, Denver.

   XBRL

      [Due to a mixup in communication, Ray Seddigh, who was
      present at the UBL TC meeting, missed the LSC meeting.  He
      later reported to the chair that he had given a 20-minute
      presentation on UBL during the interop panel at the XBRL
      conference in Tokyo the preceding week.]

OAG

   At Sue Probert's request, Garret Minakawa gave us an update on
   OAG.  Garret is chairing a CC WG that is going through the OAG
   library and forming CCs according to CCTS 1.85, beginning with
   address, contact, and party, and hoping to finish these three
   within the next couple of weeks.  OAGIS 8.1 is targeted for
   publication at the end of Q1, and Garret's group is hoping to
   get address, contact, and party in that release.  This would
   include a list of about 20 aggregates (allowance, charge,
   employee, message, packaging, etc.) covering about 70 percent
   of the OAG library.  The group intends to submit this work to
   the UN harmonization process.
