SCHEDULE REVIEW

    Revised schedule:

    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200906/msg00013.html

    PSC (TM): Nothing new.

    TSC (AS): Have received UBLified Freightwise model; will post
    to TSC list.  But FW people are going on vacation, so much will
    need to be done by email.

       ACTION: AS to post UBLified FW data model.

       ACTION: TM to review issues/qustions from FW.

       AS will be traveling for the next two weeks, starting next
       Saturday.

    SGTG (GKH): See

       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200906/msg00011.html
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200906/msg00012.html

       GKH: The token data type allows only singleton spaces.  This
       means that legacy code values with multiple adjacent spaces
       will be corrupted by the token type if we adopt the current
       ATG approach.  See note from SG (second URL above).
       Normalized string as in UBL 1.0 and 2.0 removes TAB, CR, and
       LF, but leaves multiple spaces alone.

       TM: We considered other use case examples as well in coming
       to the decision in 1.0 that we would have to use normalized
       string instead of token.  Token does not provide a
       meaningful level of validation in any case.

       TM/GKH: If token is kept in the ATG datatype catalog, UBL
       will be unable to use the UN/CEFACT UDT module.

       ACTION: TM to convey to UN/CEFACT our requirement for
       normalized string for code values together with other issues
       related to the UDT module as input for the upcoming public
       review of the ATG datatype catalog, draft to first be
       circulated to the UBL list.

    2.0 NDR (JB): Waiting for last items from MG.

       ACTION: JB to resume work on formatting issues.

    IDD Vol. 1 (JB): Committee Draft is approved; must now
    coordinate the CS vote with Mary M., who is going on vacation.

    IDD Vol. 2 (JB): Ole is back and now discussing next steps with
    Roberto.  The German version has been posted to the UBL list.

    Security SC (JB): Work is proceeding, but will not deliver
    according to the earlier schedule; timeline has been adjusted
    accordingly.
