      SW: The GEFEG developers do not go on vacation all at the
      same time.

      JB: Are we clear that ASN.1 will be in the PRD but not
      provided till the last minute?

      PT: Yes. Note that the UBL docs conformant to the ASN.1
      schema will be identical to those conformant to the UBL xsd
      schemas, but ASN.1 can also produce a compact binary format
      that has the same information content but differs in what
      gets put on the wire.

      ACTION: PT to review the ASN.1 appendix the week of 10 July
      and provide any necessary revisions.

      ML: On vacation the first two weeks of August; perhaps the
      TC should do the same.

MONTREAL UBL TC MEETING

   From Tanya Bosse:

      For any of your participants who need a sleeping room for
      your meetings, please have them contact the hotel directly
      at groups@europahotel.com, fax: 5140861-4089, or phone:
      514-866-6492. They will need to identify themselves as an
      "IDEAlliance Extreme Markup" attendee (even though this
      meeting is after that event). The group rate is $129 single,
      $139 double CAD. You might suggest that they register soon,
      as the hotel seems to get very full in the summer.

   JB: Meeting format -- 4 vs 4.5 days, timing of closing plenary?

   MC: NDR editors will be there, so will be a breakout for NDR
   during the course of the meeting; will not need projector for
   that.

   AGREED pending review by the TC: The meeting in Montreal will
   go to Friday noon, with the closing plenary Thursday late
   afternoon.  TC members planning to attend should register
   opinions on this.

NDR WORK SESSION

   MC: Due to a miscommunication, the editors were not clear on
   who was making the updates to the NDR document.  We should have
   last week's decisions in the doc shortly; and are putting the
   abbreviation/duplication rules back in per conversations over
   the last 24 hours.

   JB: Are we all agreed on what shd be done?

   SW: Yes, there appears to be consensus on the things that need
   to be in the NDR document.  It appears that the issues under
   discussion between SW, MarkC, and TM don't need to be resolved
   for this schema cycle.

   AGREED that SW will review the NDR language now being added and
   will follow up in email if necessary.

   AGREED that the NDR editors can label new language "CTNx" for
   the moment as long as none of the existing numbering is not
   changed.

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

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

      In progress.

   ACTION: NDR Editors to modify ELD 12 as agreed.

      In progress.

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

      In progress.

   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.

      PB: Posted the issues list with resolutions and actions.
      Release notes on changes still pending.  Will finish before
      going on vacation or will get consultant to do. So will have
      either Friday or Tuesday.

OTHER BUSINESS

   ACTION: PB to look at errors for UDT types and provide
   corrections by Friday 1 July.
