      on "XML Standards in Government" at Tshwane University in
      Pretoria Tuesday (17 June).

   Liaison reports

      TM: The CEN/ISSS BII Workshop met last week.  WG2
      (UBL-UN/CEFACT collaboration) have agreed to support the
      work with UBL in TBG17 to align the UBL 2.1 library with CCL
      08B and have assigned WG2 editor Sven Rasmussen to the
      project.  This means that when UBL 2.1 is published next
      year, all the semantically equivalent components will be
      mapped to 08B.

   Subcommittee report: PSC

      TM: As noted last week, the iSURF documents for
      collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment have
      been forwarded to the PSC.  ENEA also has requirements for

      PSC.

   Localization Subcommittee (DELSC) with Karsten Tolle as chair.
