   Schedule review

      PT: Add ASN.1 to the schedule; put "delivery of ASN.1
      schema" in the week following schema generation.

UBL 2.0 BPSS DEFINITIONS

   From the Pacific call 14 February 2006:

      SG: Can we publish the BPSS definitions for UBL separately
      from the SBS?  The definitions allow implementation of UBL
      in an ebXML framework; each UBL doc has one or more
      processes associated with it, and vice versa.  The
      definitions for 1.0 are in the UBL 1.0 SBS package, but now
      they've become a deliverable in their own right.

      AGREED (pending concurrence in the Atlantic call) to publish
      the BPSS process definitions for UBL as a separate
      specification.

         Agreed.

ISSUES MANAGEMENT

   From the Pacific call 14 February 2006:

      AGREED (pending concurrence in the Atlantic call) that SG
      will fill the position of Inquiry Coordinator so that
      questions submitted during the review period get forwarded
      to the appropriate SC or the TC as a whole.

         Agreed.

BRUSSELS F2F

   From the Pacific call 14 February 2006:

      AGREED (pending concurrence in the Atlantic call) to go with
      the week of 22 May 2006 at CEN/CENELEC in Brussels.

         Agreed.

UUID, GUID, OID, UID

   From the Pacific call 14 February 2006:

      AGREED (pending concurrence in the Atlantic call) to change
      GUID to UID and make the definition for UID the one that's
      currently given for GUID.

         Agreed.

         PT: Note that France Telecom has a tool that lets you
         generate and register UUIDs at no charge.

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

   ACTION: MB to check with PB regarding interest in forming an
   OASIS UBL LSC for Northern Europe.

      Carried over to next week's meeting.

   ACTION: TC to review the extension paper from BR; JB to put on
   the agenda for [this] week.

      BR: This was a very rough draft; would like to update.

      ACTION: BR to send us an updated proposal including a more
      extensive use of schematron by next week; TC to review and
      be prepared to discuss in the Atlantic meeting 1 March 2006.

NDR WORK SESSION

   (See the background provided in the agenda for this meeting)

   MG: Remember the statement arrived at in Manhattan:

      "UBL's use of the UN/CEFACT Unqualified Datatype schema
      module is primarily confined to its importation. It must not
      be assumed that UBL's adoption of the UDT schema module
      extends to any of ATG's rules that have a bearing on the use
      of the UDT."

   This seems to capture the fact that we're adopting the ATG2 UDT
   but not the ATG2 methodology.

   JB: Do we still think that including the ATG2 UDT module is a
   step toward convergence?

   MG: Yes.

   JB: Then it looks like we don't have a problem.  Let's put this
   on the agenda for next week to see whether there's any
   need to discuss this further.

   BR: The disallowance of ANY in the current NDRs will have to
   change if the extension proposal is adopted.

   JB: So noted.

OTHER BUSINESS

   ACTION: JB to send ZR the voting membership spreadsheet.
