           2/3 June 2003

       We may have to drop the May meeting back a week
       to accommodate those who are attending XML Europe.

    2. Calendar review
       http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/lsc/calendar.htm

       Added:
          - eGov conference, 10-12 February, Sue Probert
          - ISO TC 154, 7 March, San Diego, Sue, Mark
          - Int'l Web Services/XML Conference, 27-29 May, Toronto, Sang Shin

       Removed:
          - ean.ucc (there is one in America later)

       Updated:
          - Web Services One, Santa Clara
            Jon on panel March 4 as part of OASIS forum.
            Ray Seddigh will also be there.  Possibly Eve Maler.

       CIDX:
           Paris meeting will be sponsored by SAP in May/April.
           This may not happen, but if it did then UBL would be welcome
           in the Architecture meeting.  Dates not set, though.
           It's close to the XML Europe Conference, so would work well.
           Jim Wilson will provide details when they are available.

       Mark gave NACS presentation last week.

       X12: Leon will be there.
       The utility industry group represents a deep knowledge of EDI and
       is responsible for a large amount of documentation that supports
       deregulation.  This is also being used for European deregulation.
       Would like to look at utility industry documents relative to UBL
       structures and see what gaps there may be between being able to
       handle data properly and current state of UBL.  This would be a
       good 2-way exchange.  Would like to be able to get industry people
       engaged.  The three meetings coming up in Nashville are important
       to the industry - could derive benefit from UBL (and visa versa).

       UBL would need to find resources and to talk to X12 about how to
       work together.  Mark, Marion, and Jon will figure out if there's
       anyone that can be devoted to this.  Tomorrow Ralph Berwanger,
       X12 Vice Chair, will be here to talk to us.  This can be discussed
       more then, and we can decide on resourcing based on that discussion.

       Anne: - drop Bill a note asking about May plenary
             - ping Nigel Wooden about UBL speaking opportunities at ACORD.
             - find Xtreme Markup cutoff date; send info to list

       Next TC meeting after London:
       August, possibly the week before Xtreme Markup (28 July - 1 Aug).
       Jon will report to TC on Friday.  Possible locations will depend
       partially on the organizers.

    3. UBL Brochures

       When liaisons have any upcoming meetings, pleaase distribute brochures.
       Let Jon know at least a week in advance that you need some.

    4. Release update

       Have some good press response including Japanese translation
       of announcement.  Other press follow-up as well.

       The 0p70 release (27 January) is now available.  A supplemental
       package will be released next week.  It will contain everything
       in the current package as well, but only the supplemental material
       will be different and will not effect work with the current material.

    5. UN/CEFACT

       Met with Ralph Berwanger today in preparation for March meeting.
