        https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl
    - the question arose regarding how to get email notifications of postings
      made to UBL.xml.org
      - Tim to find ways for UBL.xml.org to feed social media
    - UBL.xml.org needs to revisit the editorial board members and their
      section assignments
      - http://ubl.xml.org/editorial-board-and-editorial-policies
      - please notify Ken and Tim of your interest in helping
      - once we get new participants we will meet to discuss revamping the
        site
    - how better to get a higher profile on the www.oasis-open.org web site?
      - how can we position UBL to make it easier for people looking for
        it without knowing its name, emphasizing it is an eBusiness standard


ISO/IEC DIS 19845 Universal Business Language Version 2.1 (UBL v2.1)

  - as of the posting of this agenda the stage remains at 40.60

http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=66370

- OASIS has forwarded to JTC 1 the proposed disposition of comments and OASIS
    is awaiting the response from JTC 1


Human Interface Subcommittee (HISC) revival

  - Peter to continue creating specifications using his spreadsheet approach
    - defining the box locations of the UN Layout Key forms
    - mapping UBL elements to the box locations
  - Peter and Ken to independently develop implementations to test the
    specifications
  - tested specifications to be published by HISC as a Committee Note for
    others to use


Schema Generation Task Group

  - Ole and Ken to draft straw-man approach to the development of new
    revisions to UBL based on the submissions of interested parties
  - Tim and Oriol have been approached to contribute towards the straw-man
    before drafts are published for committee review
  - tracking this as https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-11
    - Ken will work with the template that arrived just before the Atlantic
      call
  - Ken has recently posted the availability of new and revised free tools
    for generating XSD schemas here:

     https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-dev/201412/msg00012.html


UBL Naming and Design Rules

  - Ken has posted Committee Specification Draft 01 for review and discussion
    at:

    https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=54824

  - questions are posted for feedback based on some input:

     https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201501/msg00004.html

  - tracking this as https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-6


Business Document Header/Envelope

  - the draft work needs to be revived and put through the process towards
    a committee specification early in 2015
  - in the new year we will discuss how to progress this work item
  - tracking this as https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-10
  - Kees commented that this subject matter is outside of the document focus
    of UBL and UBL is independent of the header/envelope used for UBL
    documents and so this project really should be under BDXR TC in order
    to be arms-length from the document format
  - Kees and Ken are both available to support BDXR TC in the work if it
    is only a resourcing issue
  - Kees sees this project as a possible 2.0 version of SBDH and so we might
    get resources contributing from the PEPPOL group, which underscores that
    having this project in BDXR might make it more palatable for non-UBL
    projects to consider using
  - Oriol asks the question is this a technical issue or a business issue?
    - he thinks this is more a business issue and so should stay in with UBL
    - we need an agnostic business envelope independent of the transport layer
    - standalone UBL documents are like post cards where addressing
      information is self-evident and all information is open
    - relevant business processes (encryption, guarantees, confidentiality)
      need to be solved by envelopes
  - Kenneth is willing to bring the project into the BDXR committee
    - BDXR reported during the call that they will take on this project
- accepted that BDXR teleconference time is 16:00UTC every second Wednesday
    - next BDXR meeting is January 21, 2015


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

   - how about a Twitter feed of UBL adoption and announcements?

   - what subject matter issues need to be addressed?
     - communications with transportation regulatory organizations
       - Tim has created create JIRA ticket
         https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-13
     - is there a need for XML equivalents to the container messages?
       - http://www.smdg.org/itigg/downloads/
       - Tim is already addressing the ITFM** messages, the question
         here is about the CO**** messages
       - we haven't seen any requests from people wanting XML for containers

OTHER BUSINESS

  Document naming ambiguity
   - Kees raises the point that the proposed work product titles are ambiguous
     regarding "Version" ... the "Version 1.0" is the work product, but the
     word "UBL" at the end may imply to some that we are talking about UBL 1.0
   - proposed to change the titles as follows
     - UBL Maintenance Governance Procedures Version 1.0
       - does not change the abbreviation from:  UBL-Governance
     - UBL Guidelines for Mapping IFTM UN/EDIFACT Messages Version 1.0
       - newly abbreviated as: UBL-IFTM-Mapping
