These reports can be found at http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/200110/grprpts.htm The TC adopted as a preliminary plan of action the report of the UBL Group Planning Committee. This is understood to be a living document that will be revised as needed. The TC decided to make a mapping from xCBL to ebXML Core components the first activity of a preliminary Core Library SC. (The report of the Mapping Committee of the UBL Group was taken as an input to this.) Pending further discussion in an administrative track 30-31 October and final wording in the TC meeting of 1 November, the TC adopted for purposes of the subcommittee meetings 30 and 31 October a set of preliminary rules: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200110/msg00018.html The TC created a preliminary set of subcommittees charged to meet 30 and 31 October 2001 and report back to the TC 1 November 2001 with initial analysis in light of the planning document and with a draft charter, proposed chair, and proposed membership in each SC for consideration by the TC. These preliminary subcommittees and their initial memberships were as follows: Core Library and Mapping SC Eric Arnold Adam Cheyer Mark Crawford Jeff Eck Jack Gager David Lewis Tim McGrath - Chair Garet Minakawa Mike Jacobs Sue Probert Marion Royal Lisa Seaburg Arijit Sengupta Gunther Stuhec Vinod Viswanaltan Peter Yim Tools and Techniques SC Doug Bunting Bill Burcham Dave Carlson Arofan Gregory Eduardo Gutentag Eve Maler - Chair Kelly Schwarskhoff Schema Naming And Design Rules SC Doug Bunting Bill Burcham Dave Carlson Mark Crawford Matt Gertner Arofan Gregory Eduardo Gutentag Eve Maler - Chair Dale McKay Sue Probert Mike Rawlins Gunther Stuhec Context Driven Assembly SC Bill Burcham Dave Carlson Mark Crawford Matt Gertner Arofan Gregory Eduardo Gutentag Eve Maler - Chair Gunther Stuhec Jon Bosak was appointed a one-person Administrative SC to meet with interested people during the two days of subcommittee meetings and discuss publicity and marketing, scheduling and liaisons, standing rules, and domain SC formation, with recommendations to be presented to the TC 1 November. The TC adopted the agenda for the week distributed at the meeting, a copy of which can be found at http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/200110/agenda.pdf The TC meeting recessed until 1 November. =============== 1 November 2001 =============== The TC meeting resumed 1 November 2001 with the following additional persons present: Hermann Duengelhoef <hermann.josef.duengelhoef@sapmarkets.com> Phillip Engel <phillipengel@kpmg.com> Both Duengelhoef and Engel were properly registered with the chair at least 15 days in advance of the meeting as required by the OASIS TC process. On consultation with OASIS administration, it was determined that they could count attendance during the last day of the meeting as attendance at the initial TC meeting, and voting membership was extended to both of them. The TC heard reports from the SCs it had created on a preliminary basis 29 October. These SC reports, as accepted by the TC, can be found at http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/200110/reports.htm On the basis of these reports, the TC formally constituted standing subcommittees to work on Context Methodology, Context Drivers, Naming and Design Rules, Library Content, and Tools and Techniques, with the chairs, members, and charters detailed in Appendix A of these minutes. Jon Bosak reported on talks held in the administrative track 30-31 October. That report can be found with the other SC reports at the URL above. As a result of the administrative report, the TC resolved as follows: 1. That a Marketing Subcommittee and a Liaison Subcommittee shall be created with the chairs, members, and charters detailed in Appendix A of these minutes. 2. That the current chair of the TC shall combine the descriptions of the proposed Policy SC and proposed Scheduling SC into the description of an Administrative SC, adding to this description the development of policies for observer participation and the creation of a UBL FAQ, such Administrative SC to be chaired by the Chair of the TC with members appointed by the Chair of the TC, and shall submit this new description of the Administrative SC to the TC for approval by email. 3. That the TC shall adopt as standing rules for UBL subcommittees the rules given in Appendix B of these minutes. 4. That the TC shall create a position for a Vice-chair of the TC. [The TC did not actually adopt specific language on this subject or specify the duties of the Vice-chair; this needs to be filled out when a Vice-chair is actually proposed and should probably be considered just an action item at this point]. 5. That the Chair of the TC shall be authorized to put UBL-related materials on the UBL web site hosted by OASIS. 6. That the Chair of the TC shall be authorized to delegate web site access to other persons designated by SCs to create and maintain subtrees of the UBL site pertaining to such SCs. 7. That the Chair of the TC shall be authorized to place before the TC resolutions pertaining to the operation of the TC for disposition by electronic mail voting as specified in the OASIS TC process. 8. That the current chair of the TC shall attempt to create a meeting plan for the coming year and submit this plan to the TC for approval in email, using (if practical) software available on the web for scheduling meetings and taking this rough outline as a basis for further negotiation: Jan/Feb 2002 U.S. West Coast Apr/May 2002 Europe (perhaps with XML Europe 2002) Jul/Aug 2002 U.S. West Coast Sep/Oct 2002 U.S. East Coast The TC adjourned till its next regular meeting, which will be held (according to the tentative framework just shown) on the West Coast of the U.S. in January or February 2002.
