UBL TC next steps

    - what promotional issues need to be addressed?
      - UBL 2 is an organic thing that can be grown
      - what do we do for implementation support?
      - should we write a companion document of how to use the specification?
      - industry-specific documentation?
      - make it easier to find what is relevant without changing the actual
        specification
      - what about updating the International Data Dictionary?
        - who can we find to help with this?
    - what subject matter issues need to be addressed?
      - communications with outsourcing warehouses
        - which new process flows need existing or new documents?
        - Kees solicited interest from others, such as perhaps
          members of the TSC since outsourced warehouses are of
          interest to freight and transportation companies
      - more transportation co-ordination issues
      - communications with transportation regulatory organizations
    - what technical issues need to be addressed?
      - are any schema changes needed?
      - at the least we need to publish the NDR as soon as possible
    - what educational materials need to be made available?
    - how about YouTube videos regarding access to the UBL package?
    - how about a Twitter feed of UBL adoption and announcements
    - how about another UBL International conference in order to
      promote the release of UBL 2.1?  Can anyone host this conference?
