UBL 2.1 Release Time-line

   Status of the time-line

    - comments received during public review 4 are accommodated in the
      document model and documentation by Ken H. using TSC and PSC responses
    - committee specification draft 4 / public review draft 4 prepared
      by Ken H. and submitted to TC Administration for posting/processing
    - TC Administration runs public review 4 for a 15-day period
    - comments received during public review 4 are accommodated,
      possibly triggering another round of working draft, committee
      specification draft and public review draft (but hopefully not)
    - if none of the comments are material, then all of the changes
      are clearly summarized and reported to OASIS TC Administration
    - at a weekly meeting we request OASIS to run a Special Majority Ballot
      to approve the committee specification draft as a committee
      specification (CS) that can be held seven days after the close
      of the public review)
      https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#committeeSpec
    - three statements of use are obtained
    - committee submits CS to OASIS as candidate standard
    - OASIS runs a 60-day public review
    - OASIS conducts a membership-wide ballot
    - OASIS approves UBL 2.1 as an OASIS standard


ANS Status

 - this was announced last week, has everyone reviewed it before this
   week's meetings?

   http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/liaison-policy-ansi-addendum

 - Ken H. approached TC Administration for guidance
   - very supportive response has been received
 - Pacific call comments:
   - committee discussed our preference for running the BSR-8 comment period
     in parallel with the OASIS 60 day membership review
 - Atlantic calls:
   - a number of concerns were expressed during the call
   - OASIS and ANSI are both considered as North American and that no
     benefit may be gained by making the effort; would non-North-American
     countries be concerned that it is too North-American-centric?  Would
     this jeopardize any future efforts of bringing UBL through an ISO
     process?
   - the ANS process should be done *after* the OASIS process is fully
     completed and not before, because if there is negative feedback from
     ANS members then it can be accommodated in UBL 2.2 and not delay the
     completion of UBL 2.1;  if it is done in parallel, then the risk is
     that one organization says "yes" and the other organization says "no"
     and that may undermine the credibility of the organization saying "yes"
   - not wise to go to only one national body, should we also be going to,
     say, the Northern European countries for additional acceptance?
   - possible perception of OASIS work being an out-sourced work source for
     ANSI and not being independent
 - Ken H. to convene a brief one-off single-agenda-item teleconference at a
   time suitable for members of both Pacific and Atlantic calls to discuss
   this issue, rather than try to get it done by email
 - when we come to an agreement on how to proceed, Ken H. to ask TC
   Administration for guidance on the appropriate motions and ballots and
   any specification modifications required for the BSR-8 review


New work product - Withholding tax

 - Roberto is asking to create a new project for a document he is editing
   that has Italian and English versions:

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201304/msg00009.html

 - for the information of TC members, Ken H. distinguished the three kinds of
   work products possible from the TC:
    - standards track - the document has a conformance clause
                      - approval goes either to Committee Specification
                        or all the way to an OASIS Standard
    - non-standards track - the document does not have a conformance clause
- Committee Note - the document has numbered sections
                                             and subsections
                          - White Paper - the document does not have numbered
                                          sections and subsections
 - AGREED to support this new work product as a Committee Note
 - Oriol offered to help with the document
 - Roberto to be asked to supply the following information:
   - editors of the documents
   - schedule of completion
   - which mail list will be used for open discussions
   - where will drafts be publicly stored (ITLSC Kavi repository or main UBL
     TC repository?)
 - Ken H. has started discussions with TC Administration for management of the
   process and the document templates to use DocBook for a Committee Note
