   Review of Pacific call

      No comments.

PRD3

   PB: Spreadsheets have been edited; I assume that the issue list
   is closed now.  TM has done some editing on the names; he will
   update that and send it out.  Was hoping SW would be on this
   call.  AL will do the FX and send SW the archive file that she
   can use to make schemas and send back to AL.  AL can enter the
   spreadsheets into the old version of FX, but not produce the
   PRD3 schemas that require the latest version of FX.  GEFEG
   prefers to generate the schemas themselves rather than
   circulate a version that's not ready for release.  However, we
   could produce schemas using the old version and then handcraft
   them to produce PRD3.

   ACTION: Alan to upload the revised spreadsheets to the
   repository, mail SW, and contact SW to arrange for schema
   generation.  Then PT (currently in Munich) will turn around the
   ASN.1 ASAP for inclusion in PRD3.

NDR

   We are trying to get the NDR document into public review
   according to the schedule we arrived at in Montréal.

   AGREED to include a paragraph (modeled on the one in the latest
   PRD3 draft) explaining the relocation of the IND rules from the
   NDR document to the UBL 2.0 document.

   ACTION: JB to revise the front matter credits in the version of
   17 August, add the IND paragraph, and send back to the NDR
   editors.

NOVEMBER 2006 UBL TC MEETING IN SINGAPORE

   Kama is still not available for a TSC meeting this week.

   ACTION: AS and TM to confirm Singapore meeting dates in next
   week's TSC call.

MARCH 2007 UBL TC MEETING IN WASHINGTON

   We are hoping to arrange a venue in the Washington (DC) area
   for our UBL TC meeting 5-7 March 2007 so that we can set up a
   work session for the ATG2 and UBL NDR editors.  The only
   locational requirement is that it not be in Tysons Corners.
   Downtown preferred.

   ACTION: JB and AS to seek a host for the 5-9 March 2007 UBL TC
   meeting in Washington.

MAY/JUNE 2007 UBL TC MEETING IN NEW YORK

   JB: UBL TC member David Fitzpatrick has pointed out that our
   tentative plan to hold this meeting in Ithaca 28 May - 1 June
   will run afoul of Cornell University commencement 27 May.
   Experience has shown that every hotel room for many miles
   around will be booked months in advance by parents and
   relatives of the graduating class.  On the other hand, these
   people clear out on Monday 28 May, leaving Ithaca virtually
   deserted for a couple of weeks following.  We therefore have
   three options:

    - Shift the meeting one day later, from Mon-Fri
      2007.05.28-06.01 to Tue-Fri 2007.05.29-06.01 (meaning a full
      work day Friday and a return on Sunday for people wishing to
      get a Finger Lakes tour on Saturday)

    - Shift the meeting a week later to Mon-Fri 2007.06.04-08
      (with a tour for those interested on the preceding Saturday
      or Sunday)

    - Hold the meeting as originally scheduled the week of 28 May,
      but at Sun offices in Manhattan

   AGREED that we would prefer to move the meeting a week later
   and hold it in Ithaca the week of 4 June on our usual 4.5-day
   work schedule, BUT we need to hear from other members planning
   to attend.

   JB: Note in particular that flights into ITH (a regional
   airport that usually requires a stop in Philadelphia) are more
   expensive than direct flights into JFK and could also take a
   lot longer, depending on the connection.  Everyone thinking of
   attending this meeting should spend some time this week
   comparing itineraries before we make a final decision.

NEXT WEEK

   Note that we will be discussing this report on the TBG1/UBL
   activity in next week's Atlantic call:
