   Support Page maintenance

      Support Page candidate for this week:

         "SystML provides a range of forms for simple online and
         offline creation of UBL electronic business
         documents. These forms use W3C XForms CSS 3 technologies
         and as such require a suitably enabled browser such as
         Firefox with the XForms extension
         (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/download.html). [Note
         that care should be taken to use this browser in a manner
         appropriate for the status of this extension.] The
         documents available can be found via the SystML 'Business
         Web' page http://www.systml.co.uk/content/view/43/54/ and
         are part of an opensource project XForms For UBL hosted
         on sourceForge with a GPL 2 license
         (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xforms4ubl)."

      ACCEPTED, JB to wordsmith lightly.

      Agenda

         JB/GKH: "Code list revision policy" includes a discussion
         of code list validation.

         AGREED: Call it "Code list validation and revision
         policy."

         The agenda now reads:

         Customization paper (draft expected from MG/MC),
            including a discussion of conformance
         Publication of "Approved Errata" (see OASIS TC process)
         Minor revision notification/forecasting policy
         Minor revision mechanics (draft expected from GKH)
         Code list validation and revision policy
         Additional Code list resources (from GKH)
         Collaboration with UN/CEFACT
         Transportation breakout (DK)

      Hotels

         Bosak and Holman are staying at the Affinia Eastgate
         Tower, but it's sold out.

         The best bet so far appears to be the Bedford Hotel (less
         than 1 block away from the meeting place); MG, BH, and AS
         are booked there:

            http://bedfordhotel.com/index.html
            $199 US (online rate)

         JB: Went online to check, and it appears to be sold out
         except for suites.
