The Current UBL 2.0 NDR draft document

["Sylvia Webb" <swebb@gefeg.com>]

Jon,
 
The substantive NDR changes made at the Montreal F2F meeting this week
removing IND rules, the decision to create another normative document for
IND related rules where no draft document exists, and the TC's decision not
to follow the agreement documented in the November 17, 2004 Santa Clara F2F
minutes where it was agreed that NDR were in the critical path of FX
development and must completed first, please be advised of the following
revision to GEFEG's policy concerning UBL 2.0 development.
 
GEFEG will not consider any changes or additions to FX that were not
included in the draft NDR document dated July 19, 2006 until after all
normative UBL 2.0 documents have been approved and published by OASIS as
final specifications.
 
We deeply regret having to come to this position. It is obvious however that
we cannot develop and maintain commercial quality products that our
customers expect and demand if we continue to chase the frequently changing
technical dreams of UBL developers which cost us significant resources and
have no mainstream customer demand.  
 
Best regards,
Sylvia
