CEN TC 434

Agreed at the Copenhagen face-to-face meeting that the UBL TC is open to establish a formal liaison with CEN TC 434 to create a European or international standard for electronic invoicing, if there is an interest from the CEN TC.

Andrea will keep the UBL TC informed of any progress.

JIRA status and resolution value definitions

Necessary to review the definitions of ticket status and resolution in JIRA to align with the values that currently can be assigned.

Our current definitions are:

- NEW: the issue has been created but not yet agreed to be in consideration or not for the development distribution

o in order for the issue to become active work for the committee the new ticket must be changed to OPEN or it will not be seen in the "to do" filter

o the other option on a new ticket is to change it to DEFERRED

o please remember to look at the open filter to ensure visibility: https://issues.oasis-open.org/issues/?filter=12972

- OPEN: the issue is in consideration for the development distribution

o keep the issue OPEN when assigning to Ken for incorporation

o please remember to add a comment regarding expectations whenever you assign an OPEN ticket to another person for any action

- RESOLVED + Incomplete: the issue has been decided but not yet in test

- RESOLVED + Applied: the issue is incorporated in test but not released

- RESOLVED + Fixed: the issue is incorporated in a working draft version

- RESOLVED + Later: the issue is still up for discussion for a future minor revision but not the current development

- RESOLVED + No Action: considered as no action for any distribution

- RESOLVED + Cannot Reproduce: considered as no action for distribution

- APPLIED + Fixed: the issue is included in a public review (record the availability of the disposition once review opened)

- DEFERRED: the issue is not in consideration for any minor revision

o please remember to use this when creating new tickets for backwards-incompatible changes
