  JIRA tickets
   https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10170
   - no action needed

  Web site maintenance (committee web site or UBL.xml.org)
   - the question arose regarding how to get email notifications of postings
     made to UBL.xml.org
     - Ken has had OASIS help to add to the top of the http://UBL.xml.org home
       page the following ... does it make the top of the home page too long?
       If so we can reduce this to a link on the home page and point to a
       separate page:

====8<----
In order to receive email notifications of posts to this site, please
click top-right on your username next to "Logged in as:", or bottom-right
"My account", in order to get to your account page.  Go to the
"Subscriptions" tab and you'll see 5 different sub-areas.  The
"categories" and "content types" sub-areas have a number of check-boxes.
Click on any or all and then save your selection in order to receive an
email notification of a new post in that area of this web site.

     - Tim to find ways for UBL.xml.org to feed social media
     - Tim has produced the first of a number of video guides to using
       UBL 2.1:

       http://ubl.xml.org/wiki/ubl-21-video-guides-to-navigation

     - specifications page updated to include links to ASN.1 and UML
       Committee Notes, plus descriptive text for the links has been
       added to guide new visitors ... this page is evolving into a
       good page to hand out to people to learn more about UBL:

     planning purposes)
 - what agenda items do we need?
   - work on some of the JIRA tickets
   - reports from each of the subcommittees (e.g. HISC)
   - how should we tie procurement and transportation to form a logic

UBL Community Development

 - Andy raised the discussion of somehow creating a UBL Community of paying
   members to create resources along the lines of what the "BRM Institute"
   has created for their community

http://brminstitute.org/brmi-mobile-app/?subscribe=success#blog_subscription-2

 - Ken commented that http://UBL.xml.org is a site with many such resources
   and all it would take would be to package it up into an "app" that would
   be updated when the site was updated ... but that takes a lot of resources
