Final points:
ML - Procurement and Catalogue work have now more or less come into synch and it makes sense to incorporate Catalogue as we go forward, particularly as the work done on Item in the Catalogue workshops itself is key to the subsequent procurement process.  This means that we are now aiming for a completion date (ready for schema generation) of 11th November to include the Catalogue / Item work.
ALL – some concern that 2.0 release may be delayed by expansion of the Transportation group and proposal of additional messages.  All – we must stick to the plan as closely as possible and relegate to 2.0+ all work that could cause lengthy delays to 2.0.  ML – this has implications for OGC (UK Government) re. the use of UBL 2.0 in the Zanzibar Project.

Next Meeting:
UBL Bridge – 0800 UTC – Monday 7th November.
