    Review of Atlantic call minutes

       No comments.

UBL 2.1 PRD2 STATUS

    SGTG (GKH): See snapshot report:

    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201104/msg00013.html

    Problems preventing further progress are noted in the post.

    JB: (In response to question raised in the post) The figure of 62
    documents in PRD2 is correct.  There were 60 in PRD1 and we think
    that there will be 64 in PRD3.

UBL 2.1 PRD2 DOCUMENTATION

    JB: Downsampled the four largest illustrations; this reduced the size
    of the generated PDF by about one-third.

    Questions pending:

    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201104/msg00005.html

    JB: These are still pending.

UBL 2.1 DIGITAL SIGNATURE PROFILE

    JB: Finished edit of the revised section 5 of the PRD2 document.

    Issue pending:

    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-security/201104/msg00000.html
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-security/201104/msg00001.html

       ACTION: JB to remind Andrea.

    JB: Why is there a URN and discussion for Enveloped signatures and
    not Detached signatures?

    GKH: Detached is covered in the Profile but not in the PRD2
    documentation because Detached signatures are created independently
    of anything in the distribution; Detached is not a UBL artefact but
    rather an independent technique.

       AGREED to add an informative note to the effect that Detached
       signatures are covered in the Profile document.

UBL 2.1 MODELING ISSUES

    ACTION (3/1): TM to investigate whether we can formalize JB's
    suggestion to create a script or even just a manually applied formula
    to the ASBIE definitions and report findings.

       Discussion: Aside from the ASBIE definitions, other incomplete or
       inadequately specified definitions may lead to "tag abuse" (the
       tendency to substitute an incorrect tag when the correct one is
       not easily found or easily understood).  On the other hand, a
       thorough revision would require the full attention of business
       experts and could take years.  We need further discussion and
       input from PSC and TSC to resolve this dilemma.  ACTION: Put on
       next week's Pacific call agenda.

ANKARA MEETING PREPARATION

    GKH: Will be attending by phone, not in person.

       AGREED to request an opening day dial-in session beginning at 3
       p.m. local time for those (such as JB and GKH) participating by
       phone.
