My comment - the process around a minor version release put restrictions on
the changes that could be done to the existing messages. A major version
release would have allowed for more flexibility - meaning that the messages
would not necessarily have to be backwards compatible.

I look forward to the opportunity to influence a major version release and I
believe that we need more practical experience with the 1.0 family. This
experience will provide valuable input to a new major release.

UBL is gaining momentum in the Scandinavian countries. We have invited the
"Nordic network for e-Business" to a workshop in order to align our
technical infrastructure and coordinate our adoption milestones of UBL. The
UBL TC works with admirable speed but regional forums like ours needs time
to coordinate our input to a new major release.

I agree with Mark that an additional period should be added to the process
in order for all to provide input to a major release.
