ACCEPTANCE OF AGENDA
There were no changes to the agenda
INTRODUCTIONS
All attendees expressed an interest in working towards a subset of UBL that would promote adoption of UBL amongst small business software vendors. It was acknowledged that UBL's comprehensiveness may be an obstacle for some vendors and that a subset of UBL that covered a smaller set of use cases would be useful.
It was agreed that this would not be a new standard, but would be positioned as a guideline and would validate against the parent UBL specification.
Ken shared this diagram and pointed out that though this subset may circumscribe what is output by a vendor, in the case of ingestion of UBL, everything the protocol permits should be accepted.
REVIEW OF CHARTER
There were no modifications to the charter.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED DELIVERABLESThe proposed deliverables were reviewed and at this stage no changes proposed, however it was agreed that once work begins on the first item (the use cases in scope for the subset) the necessity of each might be examined again.
NEXT STEPS
It was agreed that Matt would begin by looking at the full set of use cases and examine which have been covered by PEPPOL and the Australian e-Invoicing initiative. He would draft a list of proposed use cases for discussion at the next meeting.
REVIEW OF MEETING FREQUENCY AND SCHEDULE
Unfortunately the meeting clashed with another subcommittee meeting. It was suggested that the scheduling conflict be resolved at the next meeting of the UBL technical committee meeting on June 6th.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
There was no other business.
