        http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=51123
    - AGREED:  A public review of Committee Note 02 is unnecessary for
               the ASN.1 review package.
    - AGREED:  The committee approves UBL 2.1 Abstract Syntax Notation 1
               (ASN.1) Alternative Representation Version 1.0 contained
               in the referenced voting package as Committee Note 02.

   - when agreed, they can be published immediately (because they are Notes),
     which makes them available at the time that UBL 2.1 is finalized


UBL TC next steps

    - what promotional issues need to be addressed?
      - UBL 2 is an organic thing that can be grown
      - what do we do for implementation support?
      - should we write a companion document of how to use the specification?
      - industry-specific documentation?
      - make it easier to find what is relevant without changing the actual
        specification
      - what about updating the International Data Dictionary?
        - who can we find to help with this?
      - Multi-stakeholder Forum on ICT Standardization
        - addressing commission's new more open policy on open standards
          including OASIS, W3C, IETF, etc.
        - this could include sanctioning of UBL as a standard for use in
          Europe
    - what subject matter issues need to be addressed?
      - communications with outsourcing warehouses
      - more transportation co-ordination issues
      - communications with transportation regulatory organizations
    - what technical issues need to be addressed?
      - are any schema changes needed?
      - at the least we need to publish the NDR as soon as possible

OTHER BUSINESS

    - a discussion was held regarding the handling issues of UBL because
      of its size:  problems with vendor tools, problems with comprehension,
      etc.
     - we could consider in the future what packaging options might make
       subsets of UBL available in parallel with the complete UBL
     - it was noted that many parties are involved in transactions, not just
       one company
     - Ken reminded the group of the SBSC and the effort of describing a
       scenario ... perhaps we should revive SBSC
     - Ole commented that they used the scenario concept to document both
       simple and complex situations
     - the question of resources was brought up ... who can participate in
       the SBSC?  who can take on as chairman of SBSC?
