UPDATE PACKAGE

   This is being tracked in the Pacific call.

   We were to have begun a discussion of JPLSC comments this week:

      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200710/msg00021.html

   But in the absence of critical mass, this has been postponed
   till next week.  It appears that the issues raised by the JPLSC
   will need to be reviewed in the Atlantic call as well, so it
   would be a good idea to download and read the comments prior to
   that meeting.

2008 TC WORK SCHEDULE

   A draft schedule should be available for discussion next week.
   Please be looking for a copy prior to the meeting.

SAP PATENTS

   ACTION (10/31): PB to contact Gunther Stuhec of SAP seeking a
   statement from SAP that would "hold harmless" UBL implementers
   such as Microsoft.

      Status: No response as of last week.

   See note on this in the Pacific call minutes under "Review of
   Atlantic call."  

   AGREED to authorize the TC chair to represent the TC in
   corresponding with SAP to clarify their patent claims (if any)
   on UBL and ebXML.
