STANDING ITEMS

Additions to the calendar:

http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm

TM: Add TM to UBL conference in Denmark; add PB and possibly

ML to UN/CEFACT Forum in New Delhi.

ACTION: TM and AS to confirm dates for the meeting in

Singapore in this week's TSC meeting.  (It is understood

that TM will chair the meeting.)

Liaison report: UN/CEFACT

TM: See this report:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200608/msg00089.html

The TBG1/UBL working group will meet again at the end of

September to continue convergance upon a "third solution" --

a best-of-breed combination of UBL and TBG1 work.  We need

to talk about the resolutions adopted in the meeting, how to

resolve differences in approach, the scope of the effort,

design rules, etc., as well as the very aggressive schedule

adopted by the group and the need for reporting to the TC

and getting feedback from the TC.  It's the desire of the

group to put a proposal before the Forum in October.  The TC

needs to review the project plan.

JB: Too much to do this week getting PRD3 ready.  Will put

this on the agenda for the Atlantic call next week.

Liaison report: X12

KS: Attending the meeting in Boston at the end of next

month.

Subcommittee report: HISC

Still on hold.

Team report: Code Lists

GKH: The new OASIS Code List TC held its inaugural meeting

today.  About eight people participated, and an almost equal

number have signed up but couldn't attend this week due to

holidays in Europe.  Everyone is supportive of moving

genericode 0.4 to OASIS standard as soon as possible.

Genericode version 1.0 may even be ready in time for the

first release of the UBL 2.0 Support Package.

GKH is working of 0.7 of the UBL Code List Metholodogy.  The

revision does not affect the current defaultCodeList.xsl.

Subcommittee report: PSC

TM: Long call yesterday.  Have been trying to clarify action

items from the issues list and have added one -- just

another spreadsheet edit for PB.  Spent a lot of time

rationalizing the AIs.  It's not a sensible option to

manually edit the PRD2 schemas.  PB is confident that FX

will be able to generate most of what's required.

AGREED to revise the schema generation workflow arrived at

in Montr�al as follows: PB generates PRD3 schemas; NDR

editors review for NDR compliance.  If further work needs to

be done, then we will have MG and BR do separate updates and

use ASN.1 (PT) to do the Q/A diff.

Subcommittee report: TSC

AS: Has not been meeting for the last few weeks; will meet

this week.

Review of Montr�al meeting minutes

No comments.

PRD3 status and planning

TM: PB is finishing the spreadsheet edits; TM will review, then

PB will create schemas Wednesday morning in Denmark.

ACTION: TM to make sure someone close to the process reports in

the Atlantic call.

TM: The qDT spreadsheet is being updated to add the new

transportation equipment type code.

GKH: The genericode files have to be updated to corresp to qDT.

Question: are we supposed to leave listURI blank?

AGREED to populate the listURI value of each code list in qDT

to point to the future home in the final (Standard) package of

the gc file corresponding to that list.

ACTION: GKH to ensure that those values (the absolute URLs of

the files themselves) are used in the gc files and reflected in

defaultCodeList.xsl.

ACTION: JB to request the canonical final UBL 2.0 URL from

OASIS and publish it to the list.

GKH: Note that Issue 28 should reflect a change to

defaultCodeList.xsl; that has to be updated after the new

schemas have been generated.

AGREED that we will switch the document format to Docbook

during the 15 days that PRD3 is undergoing public review.

ACTION: GKH to convert the draft presented to the TC for

balloting next week to Docbook (so we will freeze all changes

to the prose for the week while he is working on the

conversion).

JB: The PRD3 change log must also be finished next week so that

we can submit PRD3 for public review.

TM: Deadline for example docs?

JB: 25 September.
