CUSTOMIZATION GUIDELINES

    JB: A candidate Public Review Draft is out to the TC for

    review.  See

UBL 2.0 NDR EDITORIAL REVIEW

    JB: Just now picking this up after focusing on Customization
    Guidelines for the last couple of weeks.  I will be working
    with the file dated 2008-08-26 and including the following
    items:

    TRACKING ITEMS

       We need to add a section on code list metadata; see

          http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200803/msg00001.html

       Note on order of BBIEs and ASBIEs

          See minutes of Pacific call 1 July 2008.

    Questions regarding these two items have been sent to the NDR
    team and will also be put on the agenda for TC calls next week.

    ACTION: JB to make changes to the .xml after the questions
    outstanding have been addressed, then to BH for a respin, then
    JB to check for formatting problems.

    BH: Regarding the NIST schema checking facility: Zack at UCB is
    now working on the UBL rules.

    JB: There's some question how efforts other than UBL are
    supposed to use certain UBL-specific NDRs.

    BH: As well as rules that can't be tested programatically
    (e.g., the rule that spelling has to conform to the OED).  Zack
    will distinguish between testable and nontestable rules.

    JB: We need a list of issues for this NDR cycle so that they
    don't get away from us.

    BH: We will take the Navy spreadsheets and pinpoint the problem
    cases.

    ACTION: Put on the Atlantic agenda for next week.

2009 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

    This is on hold till after the upcoming UN/CEFACT Plenary.

       April/May: 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: 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.
