Re: UBL 2.0 public review period

["Yukinori Saito" <saito-yukinori@fujielectric.co.jp>]

Dear Jon Bosak,

Thank you very much for your inquiry regarding our review working to UBL
V2.0 specification.
We (JPLSC) are now reviewing the V2.0 business documents including Common
Library, Procurement Library, and Transportation Library.
We will make F2F meeting on the coming March 17. The main agenda is
examination of UBL V2.0 business documents.

I suppose that we cannot make much proposals regarding V2.0, because we have
not big resources.
I agree with your recommendation, that JPLSC focus on problems that cannot
be solved simply by adding further elements or attributes.
I suppose that the detailed examination of the UBL V2.0 business documents
by JPLSC will be accomplished when we will make Japanese translation (IDD)
around this November.

I would like to report the result of JPLSC examination of UBL V2.0 business
documents to UBL TC by the end of March.

Best regards,
Yukinori Saito

Hello Saito-san,

Mark Leitch tells me that you have requested a 2-3 month extension
to the public review period for UBL 2.0.  I understand and
sympathize with your request, but I regret to say that this will
not be possible.

If you look at the schedule I sent recently, you will see that we
are informally extending the review period an extra two weeks in
order to get input from UN/CEFACT:

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200602/msg00107.html

If JPLSC needs to make use of this extension as well, that will
probably not be a problem as long as input is received by 10 April
at the latest.  But as any further delay in closing public review
will cause a slip to the entire schedule, we will have to proceed
with the input received at that point.

The addition of data items to 2.0 can be accomplished in minor
versions following 2.0, so at this point I would recommend that
the JPLSC focus on problems that cannot be solved simply by adding
further elements or attributes.

Best regards,

Jon
