       TonyC: UN/CEFACT ATG/TMG meeting definite for 25-29 January
       in Vienna.

    Review of Pacific call minutes

       No comments.

SCHEDULE REVIEW

    JB: Per Pacific minutes: data type issue from GKH (no impact on
    schema production); modeling issue from Roberto for resolution
    in PSC.

    TM: Will resolve in PSC call this week.  There are also some
    issues just raised by Denmark.

    TSC (AS): Met twice over past month and had a good discussion
    about finalizing the transportation docs submitted by
    Freightwise.  In the most recent meeting, also discussed how to
    fit the new FW docs into the 2.1 documentation (see TSC
    minutes).  On hold WRT integration pending input from TM.

    TM: Have completed first pass of integrating complete TSC
    spreadsheets (including Danish Standards issues, 2.0 leftover
    issues, and FW items); looking good, but need another week to
    finish, then review in TSC.

SCHEMA GENERATION PROCESS

    TM: We need to determine responsibility for checking NDR and to
    organize workflow for schema issues, not just send separately
    to Fulya.

    JB: Reference "schema creation process" and formation of the
    Modeling Integration Team agreed on 2009.10.27:

       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200910/msg00029.html

       (MIT consists of TM, AS, and PB.)

    And creation of the SGTG 2009.02.23-03.02:

       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00019.html

       (SGTG currently consists of GKH, Oriol, and TonyC.)

    TM: Still missing responsibility for the NDR check.

    MG: Should be MG and MC, but MG still not funded and MC out on
    maternity leave.

    BH: Can do automated NDR validation using NIST QoD tools.

    AGREED as follows:

     - All modeling issues to the MIT

     - All (non-modeling) schema issues to SGTG

     - SGTG presents issue resolutions to Fulya so that they only
       come from one source

          (Currently the only issues under this heading are the
          ones from Oriol and some others just submitted by Finn.)

     - SGTG determines NDR workflow to BH; BH uses QoD as
       appropriate; SGTG decides what complies with NDR and advises
       Fulya accordingly

    TM: It should be noted that we are not trying to create the
    actual 2.1 schemas at this point, because the spreadsheets
    aren't finished; this is all about debugging the schema
    generation process.
