Teleconference Minutes - 2005-02-15/16

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

In attendance were only Micah and Ken.

We reviewed the output specification FS hub file:

   http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/cd-UBL-1.0/fs

and drew parallels with the possible input specification documents.

We decided on one input specification per document type, as in the output 
specifications, all linked from the hub document.  Micah will begin work on 
the individual input specifications.

Question arose about whether we are targeting UBL 1.0 or 1.1 ... the 
thought was to target the SBS subset of 1.1.  Ken will revisit the output 
formatting specs for the SBS subset of 1.1 and any new additional document 
types that may be released (e.g. Certificate of Origin (if it is added, is 
it being added? are there others?)).

Any feedback on this from other UBL members to the committee would be welcome.

We highlighted the plenary meeting in Ottawa in August 2005 as a potential 
for working on the specs face-to-face, hopefully with a lot of work done on 
both input and output specs before then.

We ended the meeting after 30 minutes.  Micah has action items on the input 
specs and Ken has action items on the output specs.
