    Review of Atlantic call minutes

       No comments.

INTERNATIONAL DATA DICTIONARY

    JB: Waiting for Denmark to finish updates.

UBL WORK SCHEDULE

    ACTION (1/8): JB to revise the work schedule spreadsheet.

       Pending finalization of the BII schedule this month.

CUSTOMIZATION GUIDELINES

    ACTION (9/2): All authors of the Guidelines to send original
    art to JB.

       JB: Still missing a few.

    Regarding Stephen Green's comments:

       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200809/msg00005.html

       Section 1.2.1, Lines 196/198

       AGREED that the conformance definition is currently just for
       purposes of the Guidelines document, none of which is
       normative.  However, it may well form the basis for a
       conformance clause in UBL 2.1.

       With regard to the Additional Document Constraints, we note
       that the prohibition against empty elements is not the only
       such constraint; there is also

          [IND2] All UBL instance documents MUST identify their
          character encoding within the XML declaration.

       And this constraint would be necessary to preserve
       regardless of opinions regarding empty elements.

       AGREED to add the parenthesis "(and does not violate any of
       the Additional Document Constraints specified in the UBL
       standard)" to the second sentence (196-197).

       AS: The document presupposes familiarity with CCTS concepts
       and terminology.

       JB/TM/GKH: This barrier to understanding is unfortunate, but
       lacking resources to create a readable introduction to CCTS,
       we must default to the CCTS spec itself.

       AS: Colors used to differentiate ABIEs from ASBIEs in
       Figs. 5-7 don't come through in printouts.

       ACTION: GKH to revise artwork to eliminate the color-coded
       labels.

       AGREED that JB will revise per this discussion and submit to
       TC for approval as first public review draft.

UBL 2.1 ISSUES LIST

    ACTION (12/18): TM to populate the new issues list with all
    currently known UBL 2.1 issues.

       In progress.

QUESTIONS ON 2.0 FROM JPLSC

    Discussed on this call:

       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200809/msg00000.html

    AGREED to the following dispositions:

       1. (1) (a-c) To be put on the issues list for 2.1.

       2. (1 and 2) We agree, and this is already on the 2.1 issues
          list in formation.

       3. To be put on the issues list; will fix in 2.1.

2009 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

    19-23 January 2009 in Fremantle

       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200808/msg00010.html

       Expected attendance: TM, MC, GKH; possibly AS, MG, AH

    The rest of the 2009 meeting schedule is on hold till after
    the upcoming UN/CEFACT Plenary.

    April/May 2009

       East coast North America (probably in DC area or possibly in
       Ottawa) has been suggested, but it's possible that we will
       have an opportunity to meet with UN/CEFACT at their 20-24
       April 2009 Forum in Rome.

    August 2009

       We are agreed on a preliminary plan to meet the week before
       or the week after the Balisage conference in Montréal; this
       would be 3-7 August or 10-14 August 2009, depending on which
       is chosen for Balisage.  It's possible that we will wish to
       hold a plenary in conjunction with the UN/CEFACT Forum in
       Sapporo 28 September - 2 October, in which case the Montréal
       meeting will be considered a working session.

TC CONCALL SCHEDULE

    Regular schedule for the next couple of months.

    GKH: On west coast for next two Mondays.

Jon Bosak
Chair, OASIS UBL TC
