   Review of Atlantic call

      GKH: We're still waiting for a reply from SAP.

      JB: I know that we asked PB to look into this, but I think
      that we need to query SAP directly regarding their
      intentions and the extent to which they think their patents
      claim the work of this TC and the work that went into core
      components and the rest of the ebXML stack.  So I'd like
      permission to represent the TC in trying to figure this out.

      AGREED; discuss in Atlantic call.

   Support page submissions

      None this week.

PACIFIC ACTION ITEMS FROM MANHATTAN (MAY 2007)

   ACTION: PSC and TSC to provide feedback on UBL 2.0 SBS 2.0:

      http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23873

      Pending.

   ACTION: PSC and TSC to summarize business rules that are (1)
   wanted in UBL but not allowed by [i.e., capable of being
   addressed by] the NDR (e.g., requirement to include one of
   PartyName and PartyIdentifier but not both) and (2) data items
   whose constraints are inherited from another standard (e.g.,
   lengths of data items specified by UNTDED); the rules so
   identified to become candidates for a list of schematron
   assertions "recommended to be included" (final characterization
   TBD).

      Pending.

Chair, OASIS UBL TC
