NES statement on UN/UBL agreement

[jon.bosak@sun.com]

Hello UBL TC,

This note from Helle Schade-Sørensen relates directly to an
item on today's Atlantic TC call agenda:

   ACTION: Northern European, Asian, and other government
   stakeholders need to tell us this week whether the level of
   recognition seen in the draft agreement is enough to make them
   feel comfortable moving ahead with UBL 2 adoption.

The "Nordic declaration" referred to in the note appears to
largely duplicate the document forwarded 21 April by Mark Leitch;
I will follow up on this to see which version should be forwarded
to OASIS management along with the terms of reference for the
group.

I cannot participate in today's TC call but would note that this
statement appears to address the concern we had about government
adoption.

Jon

The North European Subset Steering group (NES) would like to

between UBL and UN/CEFACT is enough to make the northern european
countries comfortable with moving ahead with UBL 2
adoption. Attached is the Nordic declaration stating the views on
the UBL integration into UN/CEFACT and the terms of reference for
NES.
