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?

    - how about another UBL International conference in order to
      promote the release of UBL 2.1?  Can anyone host this conference?
      http://ublconference.com or http://ublconference.org
      - perhaps an event in North America and in Europe in 2014
       - Washington DC, Burlington MA (OASIS) ?
	- Brussels or Barcelona (http://www.exchange-summit.com/)?
       - Beijing June 2014 (JTC 1 SC32)?   
    - how about a Twitter feed of UBL adoption and announcements

  - what subject matter issues need to be addressed?
    - communications with outsourcing warehouses    
    - 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?
