   Review of UBL TC teleconference 2013-05-25:

      https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201305/msg00024.html
      - note that G. Ken Holman also has voting status, but that did
        not impact on quorum for the meeting
      - note the date of the meeting reported in the minutes is incorrect
        and should be Friday 24 May 2013

   Membership status review
      https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#membership
      https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=ubl
      https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ubl/members/roster.php?num_items=80

      - voting status is determined by the following:
        - existing voting members must not miss two consecutive meetings to
          maintain voting status
        - non-voting members must attend two consecutive meetings to obtain
          voting status


UBL 2.1 Status

   - 15-day Public Review Draft 4 underway and finishes June 8, 2013:

     https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201305/msg00022.html

   - no comments received yet; if any comments (public or committee) trigger
     a change to the schemas, then a Public Review Draft 5 will be required
   - the PRD4 links to UML and ASN.1 committee notes need to be repaired and
     these are not considered substantive

   - TSC is asking the TC for what options are available to rectify some
     important items found in PRD4
     - to be discussed at next week's meetings or earlier by email if possible
     - TSC asked to prepare ASAP a clear list of the important items for
       the TC's consideration
     - if by email we agree before June 8 these changes are worthwhile
       delaying the process then if no public comments filed by June 8
       Ken will prepare a PRD5 for voting at next week's meetings

   - note that the vote for the Committee Specification derived from a draft
     cannot happen until 7 days after the last day of the public review:

     https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#committeeSpec

   - Ken H. to prepare either a PRD5 (with TSC changes) or a Committee
     Specification and Candidate OASIS Standard (without TSC changes)
     versions before June 15 in preparation for votes to follow


UBL 2.1 UML and ASN.1 Committee Notes

   - Ken H. has received editing instructions regarding the cover page and
     will forward updated versions to TC administration this week
   - note that satisfying the first committee notes merely resolve the links
     that will be in the Committee Specification and that subsequent revisions
     of the committee notes will contain up-to-date information


UBL 2.1 Release Time-line

   Status of the time-line

    - comments received during public review 4 are accommodated,
      possibly triggering another round of working draft, committee
      specification draft and public review draft (but hopefully not)
    - if none of the comments are material, then all of the changes
      are clearly summarized and reported to OASIS TC Administration
    - at a weekly meeting we request OASIS to run a Special Majority Ballot
      to approve the committee specification draft as a committee
      specification (CS) that can be held seven days after the close
      of the public review
      https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#committeeSpec
    - three statements of use are obtained
    - committee submits CS to OASIS as candidate standard
    - OASIS runs a 60-day public review
    - OASIS conducts a membership-wide ballot
    - OASIS approves UBL 2.1 as an OASIS standard
