STANDING ITEMS

   Additions to the calendar (http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm)
   Liaison reports
   Subcommittee reports
   Team reports

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

   ACTION: MartyB and TonyC to create a briefing package
   summarizing the issues for the TC and send it out the week of
   25 April so that we can prepare for the discussion.

      Status: It looks like this work is on hold for the moment.

NEW OASIS MEMBERSHIP PROCEDURES

   We need to discuss this briefly.  I will assume that you've all
   read the revised OASIS TC process at

      http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php

TBG17 LIAISON

   Marion Royal's responsibilities no longer allow him to keep up
   with the role of UBL liaison to UN/CEFACT TBG17.  In the
   minutes of the Atlantic UBL TC call 16 February 2005, we said:

      TBG17: MarkC has been appointed project leader for TBG17
      harmonization and will ensure that UBL is told what is
      needed.

   However, we never went beyond this vague observation to the
   formal naming of a new TBG17 liaison.  We need to appoint one.

NDR WORK SESSION

   Mavis and Mike are unavailable this week, so we won't have an
   NDR work session per se, but here are some items that we should
   discuss:

    - We're running out of time for NDR revision with a huge
      amount still remaining to do (in particular, the proposed
      reorganization of Reusable and the revision of our code list
      approach).

    - It would be good to pick up the customization discussion as
      soon as we've got the NDR issues settled.  We've had a lot
      more time to think about this since we considered it in Hong
      Kong last year, and it may be that we're ready to take a
      fresh look at it.

   I'm going to suggest that we split these work items over the
   new Europe/Asia TC call and the regular Atlantic TC call.
   Given the proposed schedule and the willingness of some key
   members to attend both meetings (they are going to be starting
   just seven hours apart), we might be able to develop a nice
   dynamic among the three weekly calls, something like this:

      Pacific           Europe/Asia     Atlantic

      Liaison reports   
      Content work ---> Content review
                        NDR work --->   NDR review
                                        Policy decisions
