       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-tsc/200907/msg00002.html

       FW has also submitted some code list requirements and a spreadsheet showing
       where new transport-related information items will need to be added in 2.1.

    ACTION (6/16): TM to review issues/questions from FW.

       Done.

    ACTION (6/30): TM to circulate a draft CCTS 2.01 DMR to the
    TC for review.

       Pending.

    ACTION (6/30): TM to review UBL 2.0 documentation to
    identify passages that have been or can be moved to the
    Customization Guidelines.

       Done.  The first two paragraphs of the CG have been copied
       into the first draft of the 2.1 spec, and the section on how
       to use the UBL extension has been removed from the 2.1 spec
       (superseded by the fuller treatment in the CG).

UBL 2.1 DOCUMENTATION

    TM has completed a first draft; JB is now beginning to edit it.
    JB and TM have copies of RenderX to produce PDF.

    TM: There will be more doctypes and business processes, but we
    don't know what they are yet, so we haven't made a lot of
    lists.  We will need to standardize what the groups have
    provided.  So we've concentrated on placeholders in the first
    draft.

    JB: How to include transport?

    TM: Currently represented by a placeholder: "intermodal freight
    management."  We should discuss this in the Friday TSC call.

WEB SITE UPDATES

    JB: Have announced approval of IDD Vol. 1 as an OASIS Committee
    Specification and added acknowledgements of software
    contributions from SyncRO and RenderX per recent TC decisions.

UBL LATAMLSC FORMING

    JB: UBL implementors in Peru have volunteered to form a UBL
    Localization Subcommittee for Latin America.  We're now in the
    process of gathering participants and forming a charter to
    propose to the TC.  ESLSC will remain the entry point for
    changes or additions to the Spanish translations.  Oriol
    believes that Costa Rica may be interested.

       ACTION: JB to ping Panama.
