[JB has since booked a room there as well.]

NDR WORK #1: NDR 2.0 DOCUMENT

We need to schedule a work session in which both NDR editors

can be present to discuss editorial changes.  These are the

dates that work for JB, GKH, BH: 4/4, 4/11, 4/25.

ACTION: JB to contact MG and MC concerning availability for

one-hour work sessions during the Atlantic calls on those

dates.

GKH: Many formatting issues in the current PDF are due to

tagging of the docbook version as BOOK rather than ARTICLE.

ACTION: BH to retag the draft and regenerate the PDF.

AGREED to work on the formatting issues asynchronously.

NDR WORK #2: "HYBRID APPROACH"

MC and MG were unable to attend the call, but MG sent the

following by email:

Ok with hybrid approach proposal in general; however,

consideration of our large installed base prevents me from

recommending it. Also, there still seems to be some

confusion about ASBIEs.

NDR WORK #3: CCTS REVIEW

From MG by email:

UML diagrams look fine. Two other comments though:

As an example of an Aggregate Core Component, they give

"Financial Account Details" ; isn't the fact that it is a

'financial' account giving it context?

Section 5.3.3 - Line 585: What is a BSCC?

Since the purpose of these two items was to prepare for next

week's UN/CEFACT Forum in Dublin, we will assume that MG and MC

are in communication with each other regarding these issues.

OTHER ACTION ITEMS

ACTION: MC to check with her management to see whether she

can attend some of the UN/CEFACT Forum meeting in Dublin.

MC will attend Monday through Wednesday.

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

attend the ATG2 interim meeting tentatively scheduled for

Princeton.

Pending.

OTHER BUSINESS

As several members are not available next week, and as next

week's Pacific call has already been canceled, we will skip

next week's Atlantic call as well.  Both calls will resume as

usual the week of 2 April.  Please check local times carefully

against the UTC times for the start of each call (00:30 Tuesday

for Pacific and 15:00 Wednesday for Atlantic) -- some locations

will change to daylight time during this period.
