NAMING AND DESIGN RULES

    Disposition of issues raised in the agenda:

    1. AGREED to put GKH's writeup in an informative appendix with
       note that this is an explanation of what will be found in
       the UN/CEFACT schema used by UBL.

       ACTION: JB to attempt first draft of annex.

    2. AGREED that we need a new rule stating that the schema
       retains and expresses the sequence of business information
       entities in the model plus a note observing that in UBL
       modeling, the order for an ABIE is that all the ASBIEs
       follow the BBIEs.

       ACTION: JB to attempt first draft of new rule.

    3. 1. The example numbered 1 in the NDR

          Correct as is; no change.

       2. The example numbered 5 in the NDR

          Correct as is; no change.

       3. The example numbered 12 in the NDR

          AGREED that the missing angle bracket is a typo.

          AGREED to change "BuyerParty" to "SupplierParty" in the
          example.

2009 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

    19-23 January 2009 in Fremantle

       Expected attendance: TM, MC, GKH; possibly AS, MG, AH

    The rest of the 2009 meeting schedule is on hold till after
    the upcoming UN/CEFACT Plenary.

    April/May 2009

       East coast North America (probably in DC area or possibly in
       Ottawa) has been suggested, but it's possible that we will
       have an opportunity to meet with UN/CEFACT at their 20-24
       April 2009 Forum in Rome.

    August 2009

       We are agreed on a preliminary plan to meet the week before
       or the week after the Balisage conference in Montr�al; this
       would be 3-7 August or 10-14 August 2009, depending on which
       is chosen for Balisage.  It's possible that we will wish to
       hold a plenary in conjunction with the UN/CEFACT Forum in
       Sapporo 28 September - 2 October, in which case the Montr�al
       meeting will be considered a working session.
