 2. CONTENT WORK
* Document Models
- status
We are now 2 weeks behind schedule and need to get the models loaded into EDIFIX this week to avoid slipping further behind.
Meanwhile we can continue working on refining the models.

3. NDR WORK
 - NDR issues for review in tomorrow's meetings.
The NDR document is accepted for the generation of the first (phase 1) schemas. (still awaiting the schema module diagram from Mark)
Changes may be rquired as part of the code list approach and also if we receive comments from the review.  So it does not mean the NDR document is the UBL 2.0 NDRs
Meanwhile the NDR team can start focussing on customization

4. Other items
There is a UBL/CEFACT meeting on Friday and following that we may need to discuss options to take to the CEFACT plenary meeting on September 27th.
