Re: [ubl-csc] Minutes 28 May CSC Meeting

[Eduardo Gutentag <eduardo.gutentag@sun.com>]

In accordance with the AI I got from this and previous meetings, here's a
very short paper describing what to do regarding names' conventions.

I'm sending it in OpenOffice format. Mark, I will send you it's equivalent
in .doc format in a separate email.

Thanks!

We have clarified that it is the UBL charter.  We had some general discussion regarding the reason for making some changes.  It was agreed that we would give everyone until Monday to provide inputs to Lisa.

Tim believes we need an additional 7 days.  This will add a week to Ken's work.  It takes some pressure off of NDR.  FPSC will not be doing Stylesheets, but focusing on formatting specifications for the zero point eight release.  Ken is concerned that trying to include Stylesheets will bloat the release package.  Ken proposed having pointers to the Stylesheets.  Eduardo and Jon opined that we really want as much as possible in the releases, however zero point eight is really a limited release.  Jon believes there are two issues - 1) should they exist, and 2) should they be included in the package.  Ken pointed out that the formatting specification is normative, whereas the stylesheet is not.  Ken will need to start over with zero point eight because of the new conventions.  Jon proposes that 1) let us think about when we 
can send the data models out to reviewers and 2) we take the schedule (spreadsheet) and start operating on it in this group.  In other words, lets make the CSC responsible for management of/changes to the spreadsheet.  We had some general discussion on Kavi and determined there is a mechanism to keep track of versioning, but there is no mechanism for managing check-in and check-out.  Tim believes there needs to be an owner.  After discussion, we agreed that Lisa would act as the owner/gatekeeper.  If a chair needs to revise the schedule, they will contact Lisa and request check-out.  When finished, they will send to Lisa for check-in.  Lisa will handle the notifications.  Tim will make first cut at changes and send to Lisa for initial posting.
