Liaison reports

TM: The CEN/ISSS BII Workshop met last week.  WG2

(UBL-UN/CEFACT collaboration) have agreed to support the

work with UBL in TBG17 to align the UBL 2.1 library with CCL

08B and have assigned WG2 editor Sven Rasmussen to the

year, all the semantically equivalent components will be

mapped to 08B.
