TC Liaisons

CEN TCs 434 and 440

Agreed at the Copenhagen face-to-face meeting that the UBL TC is open to establish a formal liaison with CEN TC 434 to create a European or international standard for electronic invoicing, if there is an interest from the CEN TC.

OASIS has reported that there is an agreement on a way forward. The TC has agreed to appoint Wim Kok liaison officer to the CEN TC 434, and Peter Borresen as liaison officer to the CEN TC 440, as recorded here:  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202301/msg00017.html . The appointments have been communicated to OASIS.

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 1

Decision to appoint Andrea as liaison representative between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32 and the TC recorded here:  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202007/msg00014.html

Last year’s SC 32 meeting was held on June 2022. OASIS should have been following up with the SC 32 secretariat last year but still no progress. Jamie will follow up with SC 32.
