2. Report from Peter Borresen on Procurement Process
The meeting in London was very productive. The OGC agreed to drop the 
rectification advice document. In general agreement was reached on the 
procurement process between the Danish Government, Norwegian Government 
and, Britain (OGC).
The plan is to take the document and discuss and finalize that document 
on Friday in a conference call with the procurement group. This will 
then be shared with the UBL group.
Other groups within UBL need to know the name and number of the 
document groups being proposed.

As well is producing the procurement process model we can update the 
issues list with the proposed PartyRoles and the definitions of them.

PB: We have discussed making a common European Localization.
IDA funding will finish in Sept.

As we move in to the construction and design of new document types for 
UBL, we will prototype the first document collaboratively. We will 
delegate sets of document types based on the collaboration they are 
used within to individuals for initial development.

3. Sue Probert gave an update on the CEFACT Plenary meeting
SP: A new agreement between CEFACT and OASIS was formed.

key tasks ahead was to try to agree on the local/global issue and to 
try and reach consensus.

4. TM: The report from the UBL/UNedocs feasibility study has been 
distributed to the negotiating team and there is a meeting next week to 
decide whether to adopt this strategy.

5. Tax XML will provide resources to develop guidelines for UBL 
implementation in various tax regimes.

On the Eurasian call in 2 weeks time, the discussion will be devoted to 
Tax XML issues

structure.

7. No additions to the calendar.

the draft that it would benefit from having populated samples but we 
need to find someone prepared to do that.
MB will try to find out if Bryan can provide some examples himself.
