5. Barcelona update
    No one on the call were in Barcelona last week!

6. Code lists

    We agreed that it's too circular and inconvenient to require
    external code list modules to use our simple types for supplementary
    components, so we agreed that instead they must use the attribute
    names that we dictate in order for us to know that they intended the
    CCTS semantics.

    We didn't agree yet on whether to recommend XSD documentation
    elements in external code list modules.  We will leave this point
    open in the NDR document.

7. Modnamver
    URLs vs. URNs in namespace names vs. schema locations: deferred.

8. Local vs. global elements
    We reviewed Fabrice's new proposal.  He compares the current solution
    with a solution that uses local qualified (not unqualified) elements.
    We will continue to work on this at the F2F.

9. Facets
    Deferred.

10. Approve NDR document and position papers

     Does the NDR document contain the following information?
     Code lists, CCTS metamodel, modnamver, possibility of reconsidering
     local vs. global.  Yes, all these are sufficiently covered.

     Are these position papers ready? Modnamver, code lists, elements
     vs. attributes, maybe facets?, maybe local vs. global?

     We couldn't vote, but we informally agreed that the NDR document
     is ready for its second review distribution.

12. Adjourn
     Adjourned at y:55.
