STANDING ITEMS

   Additions to the calendar:
      http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm

      JB: Will be giving a UBL presentation the evening of 18
      April at the Washington Area SGML/XML Users Group.

      ACTION: AS to look for other area speaking opportunities the
      week of 16 April.

   Liaison reports (Tax XML TC, UN/CEFACT, X12)

      None.

   Subcommittee report: PSC

      TM: PSC meeting schedule not clear; will see after NES and
      TBG1 meetings next week.

   Subcommittee report: TSC

      TM: Met last week, discussed draft submission of UBL 2.0 CCs
      to TBG17; leaning away from idea of separating into
      procurement, transportation, and common.  The form required
      by TBG17 can be generated from FX, but PSC and TSC will have
      to review.  Roberto C. has produced a sample Bill of Lading
      instance (actually a Sea Waybill) that reveals a component
      missing from UBL 2.0; this brings up the issue of planning
      for bug fixes and errata.  Roberto and Juha have been
      invited to join the TSC; if they accept, we will be moving
      the TSC call time.

      ACTION: JB to put errata on agenda for this week's Atlantic
      call.

   Review of Atlantic call

      No comments.

SUPPORT PAGE

   GKH: Items should be in alphabetical order to prevent the
   appearance of partiality.

   JB: Alpha order can be gamed by changing the title of a
   submission.

   AGREED to keep the items in order of submission but preface
   each item with its submission date.

   GKH: And note that doc 21660 is now 22328.

CUSTOMIZATION PAPER

   TM: Spent some time in Singapore in a general workshop on the
   concept and assigned further action to MC and MG.  MC has notes
   from the meeting plus papers from GKH and TM; we need the
   editors to incorporate this into a draft document for
   circulation to the TC and perform wordsmithing, consistency
   checking, etc.

   ACTION: Put on agenda for this week's Atlantic call.

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

   ACTION: JB to check with SW regarding X12 representation.

      Pending. (And add KS to the inquiry.)

   ACTION: JB to add language to ubl-ssc noting that the materials
   linked from there are merely resources and that the TC is not
   available to help with deployment.

      AGREED to make this something like "For interpretation or
      assistance in the deployment of these materials, contact the
      submitters linked to below," add a note about the process
      for submission, and put all the notices at the bottom of the
      page with a reference from the top.

OTHER BUSINESS

   JB and TM gave a UBL briefing for Gartner last week; JB to ask
   Carol Geyer to let us know when the report comes out.
