Review of Pacific call

GKH: The minutes say, "We note that the symposium is not an

OASIS-sponsored event."  Actually, OASIS is one of the

sponsors; this should say "is not an official OASIS event."

Support page maintenance

GKH: working on revisions to stuff referred to from the SP.

Will be proposing new artefacts for CL support, to be listed

as TC-produced; for discussion in Manhattan.

ET.GOV

ACTION: AS to follow up with SW.

Pending.

line to Penn Station.  Will send mail to the list.

ACTION: JB to post the list of Sun contracted hotels to the

Agenda:

Add "additional code list resources" (fits in with CL

revision policy).

Add to the customization item: including a discussion of

conformance.

So the agenda now reads:

Customization paper (draft expected from MG/MC),

including a discussion of conformance

Publication of "Approved Errata" (see OASIS TC process)

Minor revision notification/forecasting policy

Minor revision mechanics (draft expected from GKH)

Code list revision policy

Additional Code List resources (from GKH)

Collaboration with UN/CEFACT

Transportation breakout (DK)

Schedule:

GKH: NY XML Users' Group is starting up again, and GKH/TonyC

may be presenting that week on UBL and on Code Lists, so we

may want to rearrange our traditional evening schedule; will

advise the group when we know more.

POSITION ON ATG2 "HYBRID APPROACH"

From MC:

Suggested position: [following last week's UN/CEFACT Forum]

UBL NDR now appreciates the business requirements for the

hybrid approach, and we will endorse it as soon as UN/CEFACT

formally adopts it and there is support for it in a released

version of CCTS.

JB: Not clear whether our opinion on this is still being

sought.  Will take this up when the NDR editors can attend.

OTHER ACTION ITEMS

ACTION: MG to check with his management to see whether he can

attend the ATG2 interim meeting tentatively scheduled for

Princeton.

Pending.

OTHER BUSINESS

AGREED to skip TC meetings the week of 16 April.  (And we will

as usual skip the week just prior to the upcoming F2F, i.e.,

the week of 30 April).  So we will meet as usual the weeks of 9

and 23 April but not the weeks of 16 and 30 April.

NDR WORK SESSION

Due to the unavoidable absence of the NDR editors, we discussed

only formatting issues this week.  We will pick up editorial

issues in the Atlantic call 4/25.

AGREED to work on this as schedules will allow; most editorial

work should take place during calls at which the NDR editors

can be present, but specific items that can profitably be

discussed in email may go to the list.
