Review of Pacific call

No comments.

PRD3

PB: Spreadsheets have been edited; I assume that the issue list

is closed now.  TM has done some editing on the names; he will

update that and send it out.  Was hoping SW would be on this

call.  AL will do the FX and send SW the archive file that she

can use to make schemas and send back to AL.  AL can enter the

spreadsheets into the old version of FX, but not produce the

PRD3 schemas that require the latest version of FX.  GEFEG

prefers to generate the schemas themselves rather than

circulate a version that's not ready for release.  However, we

could produce schemas using the old version and then handcraft

them to produce PRD3.

ACTION: Alan to upload the revised spreadsheets to the

repository, mail SW, and contact SW to arrange for schema

generation.  Then PT (currently in Munich) will turn around the

ASN.1 ASAP for inclusion in PRD3.

NDR

We are trying to get the NDR document into public review

according to the schedule we arrived at in Montr�al.

AGREED to include a paragraph (modeled on the one in the latest

PRD3 draft) explaining the relocation of the IND rules from the

NDR document to the UBL 2.0 document.

ACTION: JB to revise the front matter credits in the version of

17 August, add the IND paragraph, and send back to the NDR

editors.

NOVEMBER 2006 UBL TC MEETING IN SINGAPORE

Kama is still not available for a TSC meeting this week.

ACTION: AS and TM to confirm Singapore meeting dates in next

week's TSC call.

MARCH 2007 UBL TC MEETING IN WASHINGTON

We are hoping to arrange a venue in the Washington (DC) area

for our UBL TC meeting 5-7 March 2007 so that we can set up a

work session for the ATG2 and UBL NDR editors.  The only

locational requirement is that it not be in Tysons Corners.

Downtown preferred.

ACTION: JB and AS to seek a host for the 5-9 March 2007 UBL TC

meeting in Washington.

MAY/JUNE 2007 UBL TC MEETING IN NEW YORK

JB: UBL TC member David Fitzpatrick has pointed out that our

tentative plan to hold this meeting in Ithaca 28 May - 1 June

will run afoul of Cornell University commencement 27 May.

Experience has shown that every hotel room for many miles

around will be booked months in advance by parents and

relatives of the graduating class.  On the other hand, these

people clear out on Monday 28 May, leaving Ithaca virtually

deserted for a couple of weeks following.  We therefore have

three options:

- Shift the meeting one day later, from Mon-Fri

2007.05.28-06.01 to Tue-Fri 2007.05.29-06.01 (meaning a full

work day Friday and a return on Sunday for people wishing to

get a Finger Lakes tour on Saturday)

- Shift the meeting a week later to Mon-Fri 2007.06.04-08

(with a tour for those interested on the preceding Saturday

or Sunday)

- Hold the meeting as originally scheduled the week of 28 May,

but at Sun offices in Manhattan

AGREED that we would prefer to move the meeting a week later

and hold it in Ithaca the week of 4 June on our usual 4.5-day

work schedule, BUT we need to hear from other members planning

to attend.

JB: Note in particular that flights into ITH (a regional

airport that usually requires a stop in Philadelphia) are more

expensive than direct flights into JFK and could also take a

lot longer, depending on the connection.  Everyone thinking of

attending this meeting should spend some time this week

comparing itineraries before we make a final decision.

NEXT WEEK

Note that we will be discussing this report on the TBG1/UBL

activity in next week's Atlantic call:
