Subject: Minutes of Pacific UBL TC call 25|26 July 2005
MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING 00H30 - 02H30 UTC TUESDAY 26 JULY 2005 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) Micah Dubinko Stephen Green Ken Holman Sylvia Webb MEETING IN OTTAWA 8-12 AUGUST 2005 JB: Anne Hendry will be joining us in Ottawa. KH: We need to hear of plans for this meeting from anyone who hasn't already let us know. JB: Note that as always, there will be no TC phone calls the week before our F2F (that is, next week) or the week following the F2F (that is, the week of 15-19 August). STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar (http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm) None. Liaison report: Tax XML TC SW: The next monthly meeting is this Thursday. Subcommittee report: HISC KH: The SC meets tomorrow night. Is the list of documents now set? JB: Yes, the doc types for phase 1 have been agreed upon. KH: Now we need help with mappings to the UNLK forms. To start with, how can we find out which UNLK forms correspond with the new UBL documents? JB: Sue should know. ACTION: KH to check with SP for information about UNLK forms. Subcommittee report: SBSC JB: The vote to approve the SBS as a CD ends Wednesday. SW: Why was "abstain" not an option? JB: I don't approve of allowing "abstain" in "full majority" (aka "absolute majority") votes. In a regular majority vote, where the majority is defined as more than half of all those casting a vote, "abstain" makes sense because it records your participation in the vote but doesn't count toward approval or disapproval. But in a "full majority" ("absolute majority") vote, majority is defined as more than half of all the voting members, whether they vote or not. In that case, there is no such thing as opting out of the vote, because any member not voting is counted as voting "no" for purposes of determining the question. I don't like presenting people with an option that looks like they're not taking sides when actually they are. If they are going to act in a way calculated to defeat the question, they ought to come out and vote "no" rather than hiding behind a fig leaf. SW: Doesn't a "no" vote require that you give reasons? JB: It could be set up that way, but it wasn't. If people would prefer in the future to set up "full majority" votes to allow abstentions and require reasons for a "no" vote, I can change this policy. ACTION: JB to contact Altova to update them on SBS progress and clarify their requirements. Subcommittee report: SSC SG: Brief meeting, discussed a few things, no action. Team reports None. Review of Eurasia and Atlantic TC minutes No comments. REVIEW OF ACTION ITEMS FROM LAST MEETING PENDING ACTION: SylviaW to convey the SBS Invoice to the Tax XML TC and solicit their feedback. SW: Will be done at the monthly meeting this week. CONTENT WORK PENDING ACTION: TM to send email to the ubl list identifying the two problems we see with the current ATG2 draft CCTS schemas (issue 23, code list version id, and 27, structures of quantity amount and measure) and prepare a position statement to serve as a basis for escalation to ATG2. ACTION: JB to send Tim a reminder. SG: Any comments on Credit Note? It appeared that no one had had a chance to read it. SG: It's very important that we establish how to go on from these billing docs to the others so that other groups can use the BIEs. We don't need to formally approve the docs, just agree that they are sufficiently realistic to base the other docs on the same BIEs. ACTION: SW to review the billing docs this week. SG: We also need to sign off on the tax BIEs. SW: This will be discussion on Thursday in the Tax XML TC meeting. We should be able to at least get feedback in the mail before Ottawa. KH: Now 18 docs up from 8... SG: Credit Note is probably the most important. It's similar to remittance and almost identical to Debit Note. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
