  - make it easier to find what is relevant without changing the actual
    specification

    promote the release of UBL 2.1?  Can anyone host this conference?

      - perhaps an event in North America and in Europe in 2014/2015
        - Washington DC, Burlington MA (OASIS)?
        - Stockholm in December?

  - how about a Twitter feed of UBL adoption and announcements?
