UBL 2.1 Status

   - does the TC approve this finalized comment disposition for public
     review draft 3 as the changes made for round 4?

    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=49175

     AGREED (pending Atlantic call) to accept finalized comment disposition
     for UBL 2.1 Public Review Draft 3.

   - discussion ensued regarding the direction by TC Administration
     regarding putting the currently unavailable non-normative content
     in Committee Notes:  is it worthwhile to postpone further progress
     of UBL 2.1 until that content is available?
   - voting progressed with a subset of attendees, in anticipation of
     completing the vote during the Atlantic call

   - does the TC approve this package as Committee Specification Draft 4
     of UBL 2.1?

    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=49171

     AGREED (pending Atlantic call) to approve CSD4 as posted and notify
     OASIS TC Administration of its availability for posting to the UBL
     repository.

   - does the TC approve submitting the approved Committee Specification
     Draft 4 for a 15-day public review as this package as Public Review
     Draft 4 of UBL 2.1?

    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=49172

     AGREED (pending Atlantic call) to approve PRD4 as posted and notify
     OASIS TC Administration of its availability for posting to the UBL
     repository and starting the 15-day public review.


UBL 2.1 Release Time-line

   Status of the time-line

    - TC Administration to be notified for posting/processing of public review
      (note that TC Administration happens to be very busy with some tasks
      being listed for action - 5 added so far just today - just the luck
      of the draw with so many committees happening to have action items)
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10010&status=1
    - TC Administration runs public review 4 for a 15-day period
    - comments received during public review 4 are accommodated,
      possibly triggering another round of working draft, committee
      specification draft and public review draft (but hopefully not)
    - if none of the comments are material, then all of the changes
      are clearly summarized and reported to OASIS TC Administration
    - at a weekly meeting we request OASIS to run a Special Majority Ballot
      to approve the committee specification draft as a committee
      specification (CS) that can be held seven days after the close
      of the public review
      https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#committeeSpec
    - three statements of use are obtained
    - committee submits CS to OASIS as candidate standard
    - OASIS runs a 60-day public review
    - OASIS conducts a membership-wide ballot
    - OASIS approves UBL 2.1 as an OASIS standard
