WORK LIST UPDATE

   The work list at

      http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/worklist.xls

   has finally been revised.  It's still a bit rough, and I will
   probably continue to rearrange items over the next couple of
   weeks, so I'm not going to link to specific lines yet.  Please
   review this and be ready to add items if I've left anything
   out.

   EDIFIX proposal

      The SSC discussed this straw proposal last week:

         http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-ssc/200409/msg00009.html

      As a result of which, Sylvia Webb sent this diagram to the TC:

         http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200410/msg00003.html

      Anne Hendry will be posting a report of the SSC discussion
      to the UBL list in time for this TC meeting.  We do not
      expect to resolve the issue this week, but we should discuss
      progress so far, ask questions, and provide input to SSC so
      that we can obtain a detailed plan.

   Process for working on proposed additions to UBL

      Preliminary brainstorming session ways to work through
      proposed additions to UBL.  I will take this as input for
      proposing some specific procedures.

       - How do we decide which new items will be included?  (Form
         an input team? Ask submitters to write proposals and have
         the TC decide? Let the chair decide?)

       - How do we get the submissions into shape for inclusion?
         (Form a team to work on each? Make the submitter do it?
         Call for participation from submitting organizations?)

       - Who reviews the submissions for correctness once they are
         in the proper form?  (The whole TC? A submission Q/A
         team?)

       - How does this tie in with the proposed EDIFIX-based
         development methodology for 1.1?
