20040603-Agenda1 - Charter - Ken

• candidate items for the charter were discussed

• summary of possible items:

  • address existing output specifications for print

  • consider output specifications for browser and hand-held screen geometries

  • consider input specifications

    • paper geometries

    • browser and hand-held screen geometries

  • consider adding other examples of the presentation of UBL information in other contexts

    • Ken reminded the group that they are only examples, but that more examples than just the UN Layouts might be useful

    • Stephen commented that layouts could be related to a small business profile

  • do we need to specify presentation information related to translations?

    • is there a role for adjunct files, perhaps for code lists?

• Jon reminded the group to keep the charter simple and extendible

20040603-Agenda2 - 1.0 bug list - Ken

• Ken will initiate a 1.0 bug list for obvious problems in the 1.0 formatting specifications as written

• the larger issue of strategies for handling absent information and fallback behaviours would be part of a future release of UBL

• Ken reminded the group to distinguish problems in the formatting specifications from problems in any stylesheet implementation of the formatting specifications

  • if the problem is with an implementation, the issue should be brought up with the developer and not with the committee

  • problems with the formatting specifications can be considered for when they will be addressed by the committee

9.  Action items

20040603-Action1 - charter - Ken

• draft a simple and extensible charter

20040603-Action2 - bug list- Ken

• start a bug list for 1.0 formatting specifications

10.  Future meetings

The next teleconference will be June 10, 2004. I am not available to chair a meeting the week of June 14, 2004 (and possibly the rest of the June meetings) ... can others offer to chair these time slots? Remember we should be using the mail list for most of our discussion in order to keep the meetings short.

11.  Adjournment

The meeting ended after 54 minutes.
