   Review of Pacific call

      No comments.

      JB/GKH: We will start using the adjective "custom" instead
      of "bespoke" in descriptive prose.

   Schedule review
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200602/msg00107.html

      GKH: Need schemas to generate defaultCodeList.xsl.

      SW: Will have something more complete tomorrow, but we need
      NDR (language) in a new draft (to produce schemas for)
      public review.  The test set tomorrow will include none of
      today's NDR decisions, but will have the extension element
      per the 25 May NDR draft.

NDR WORK SESSION

   1. Duplicates and abbreviations in dictionary entry names:

         http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-psc/200606/msg00025.html

      MG/SW: The NDR language relating to duplicates and
      abbreviations was removed before the release of 1.0 on the
      grounds that CCTS covers this.

      SW: CCTS is payload-neutral, and NDR overrides CCTS, but NDR
      is not clear on what to do about duplicates and
      abbreviations.  In the past, GEFEG have taken it on
      ourselves to deal with this, but we feel this is bad
      practice.

      MG: Rules are implied in spreadsheets under the UBL Name
      column.

      SW: True in 1.0 because the spreadsheets are based on CCTS;
      the problem is in going from spreadsheet to schema, because
      NDR overrides the naming rules in CCTS due to the existence
      of a section specifying naming rules.

      ACTION: NDR Editors to find the old language covering this
      and put it back in CTN2 (or create new language if the old
      cannot be found).

   2. QDT syntax

      ACTION: NDR Editors to check the syntax of the QDT module
      included with the current schema build(s).

   3. Version, subset, and profile IDs:

         http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200606/msg00076.html

      ACTION: NDR Editors to change ELD12, ELD13, and ELD14 to
      make it clear that the elememet declaration must exist and
      that the declaration will specify that minoccurs is zero.

      AGREED that the version, subset, and profile will be
      captured in the document model spreadsheet for each document
      as suggested by TM.

   4. NDR specification of xsd:any in UBLExtension:

         http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200606/msg00099.html

      AGREED that the UBL extension element shall be defined such
      that its content is

         minoccurs 0
         maxoccurs unbounded
         content is any
         process contents is skip

      and the extension element itself has minoccurs 0 (a change
      in ELD12).

      ACTION: NDR Editors to modify ELD 12 as agreed.

      ACTION: NDR Editors to review IND5, IND6, and ELD7 and
      modify them to except the UBL extension element.

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

   ACTION: PB to ask TM for a copy of the liaison announcement,
   which he will then forward to Sweden and other interested
   participants.

      Done.

   ACTION: JB to get new set of licenses from Altova.

      Pending.

   ACTION: PB to try to finish the resolution list Friday 9 June
   and send to the ubl list.

      Scheduled to do Friday.

   ACTION: GKH to publish his paper on the subject of minor
   versioning and namespace URIs in the next day or so.  The TC is
   to study this, provide feedback in email, and be prepared to
   discuss it in the Atlantic TC call 21 June.

      The minor versioning component of the proposal has been
      withdrawn, and the paper now focuses on customization.

      GKH: Hoping to get feedback from the NES group regarding
      deployment implications of the customization paper.

   ACTION: PB to request responses to Ken's paper from BR and MHB,
   particulary WRT requirements.

      Done.

OTHER BUSINESS

   PB: TBG1 said not to be reviewing the proposed collaboration
   plan because it does not set dates.

   JB: Assuming that TM is handling this.

   SW: The GEFEG developers working on UBL leave for vacation 3
   July.

   MC: Will chair the Atlantic call 19 July but will not be on the
   call 6 July.

   Several other participants noted vacation plans that week.

   AGREED: We will not hold TC calls the week of 3-7 July.
