  - J1N12314 received from JTC 1 as a package of comments from initial ballot
    - https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201410/msg00012.html
    - need to draft responses to the national body comments
    - response needs to have the approval (but we think not a vote) of the TC
    - Tim to draft response to BSI and SIS
    - Ken to draft response to JISC
    - for discussion at next week's meetings, at which point we will put it to
      the TC until the following week when we can agree and provide to OASIS
      as the recommended response


Human Interface Subcommittee (HISC) revival

  - work proceeding on Invoice, Order and Forwarding Instructions
  - Peter has progressed the work to create a stylesheet generator
    - invoice is complete
    - order is almost complete
    - forwarding instructions will be started soon
  - will work on procedures to accommodate submissions from others
    while keeping in mind intellectual property issues


UBL TC Face-to-face

  - confirmed for December 1, 2014 - Stockholm, Sweden
  - who is planning to attend?
    - please send offline to the chairs a written indication of your
      intention to attend (not a commitment, just an intention for our
      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
      link all the way from "I want something" to it being delivered
      (bring together the two islands of procurement and transport)
    - new Publications Office forms
         We miss information about the new forms
    - should we have a multitude of smaller documents for process
      purposes, rather than larger documents? Note this is also a topic
      later in the week at the CEN/BII meeting
  - a conflict has arisen in that there is an e-SENS meeting in Stockholm
    the same days as the face-to-face and UBL International ... this may
    impact on the attendance by committee members and guests to the
    symposium


UBL International 2014

  - a half-day symposium in Stockholm, December 2, 2014 the day after
    the UBL TC face-to-face is ready to be announced:
