GUEST APPEARANCE

   Carol Geyer of OASIS (substituting for Jane Harnad) spoke to
   the TC regarding the upcoming OASIS Adoption Forum in London
   17-18 October.  Tim McGrath will be presenting on UBL during
   the first day (Monday), and a half-day session on the Open
   Document standard has been added on Tuesday.  The Forum is open
   to OASIS members and nonmembers alike; OASIS members get USD100
   off the price, and an additional USD50 off if they register
   this week (before 19 September).  The meeting will be chaired
   by John Borras and will feature a keynote on open standards and
   open source.  Information will be provided on all of the OASIS
   TCs.  This is a great opportunity to publicize TC work and get
   feedback from the public.

Review of Pacific and Europe/Asia calls

   SW: Members attempting to sign up for the PSC seem to be
   unaware that their designated "Primary Contacts" need to
   approve their participation before they can be added to the TC.
   This includes Jostein Fromyr, Mark Leitch, and others.

   JB: This is necessary for legal reasons having to do with the
   OASIS IPR Policy.  The Primary Contact is automatically
   notified when someone attempts to join; we don't have any
   access to that process.

   ACTION: PB to inform the members he's been recruiting that they
   need to follow up with their OASIS Primary Contacts. [JB has
   since sent a detailed message on this to the people involved.]

Schedule review:

   "Generate phase 1 schemas"

      SW: Not yet final; still tech work to be done by DavidK and
      are waiting for updated UDT spreadsheets from PB.

   "Create phase 1 ASN.1 schema"

      AGREED that there is nothing to be gained by generating the
      ASN.1 schemas at this point.

   HISC work items

      ZR: Am investigating the mappings.

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

   ACTION: MavisC to contact MikkelB regarding his attempt to
   create a minor version of UBL.

      MikkelB: Haven't heard from Mavis yet, but certainly want to
      participate in the localization/contextualization work.

      ACTION: BR to contact MavisC with input from Denmark.

   ACTION: TC members visiting NYC in October or November to check
   out the Sun facilities and see whether they are suitable for a
   UBL TC meeting.  JB will be coming through in mid-November and
   will also check then.

      Pending.

   ACTION: MarkC to review schema import diagrams in the NDR
   document and update as appropriate.

      Done, but we don't know the status.

   ACTION: MarkC to send ATG paper on CLs to MartyB and share it with
   the list when that becomes possible.

      Status unknown.

   ACTION: MartyB to provide a revised example of the enum version
   of the currency CL as formerly proposed but without
   substitution groups, by next week if possible.

      Not clear whether this has been done.

FOR THIS MEETING

   Code list progress

      JB: Working on an analysis of the code lists in 1.0.

NDR WORK SESSION

   We were unable to begin this discussion due to the
   unavailability of the three NDR editors.  It appears that our
   main work item for next week's meeting is code lists.
