Pilot project

 

How will we structure the work?

-  Can we do this in the TC itself? Or do we need a subcommittee?

 

UBL Payments and Finance Subcommittee (PayFin)

 

Nothing

 

UBL Post-award

 

Nothing

 

UBL Pre-award

 

Nothing

 

UBL Transportation Subcommittee (TSC)

 

Nothing

 

Organisation Master Data Subcommittee

 

Who can serve as liaison officer ISO TC 323 (WG5) and the UBL TC for facilitating work on the PCDS?

 

TC Liaisons

 

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.

 

CEN informs that a liaison cannot be established at TC level. OASIS is contacting CEN to set up a TC liaison.

 

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 1

 

Decision to appoint Andrea as liaison representative between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32 and the TC recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202007/msg00014.html

 

This year’s SC 32 meeting was held in June 2022. OASIS should have been following up with the SC 32 secretariat last year but still no progress. Harm Jan will follow up with Jamie to see what the status is.
