None.

Liaison reports

TM: From UN/CEFACT Plenary: CC library 08B is looking good

and on track for November delivery.

Subcommittee report: PSC

TM: Expecting BII requirements in November; this would

result in consolidated UBL 2.1 requirements in Jan/Feb 2009

and 2.1 delivery in Aug/Sep 2009.  This is a good fit with

our mapping to CC library 08B.

ACTION: TM to meet with AS and Martin Forsberg to begin work

on 08B mapping.

Review of Atlantic call minutes

GKH: Thanks to BH for taking on synthesis of the checklist

annex.  Agree that we need to explain "XSD" instead of "W3C

Schema."

MINUTES OF THE UBL TC MEETING IN MONTRÉAL

ACTION: TM to provide the UN/CEFACT report slides.

INTERNATIONAL DATA DICTIONARY

JB: Still waiting on Denmark.

AGREED that if the Danish translation is not received by next

week, we will go ahead with public review of Japanese, Italian,

and Spanish.

UBL WORK SCHEDULE

AGREED to assume BII input in November and shift everything

in the old schedule by six months.

week.

UBL 2.1 ISSUES LIST

currently known UBL 2.1 issues.

In progress.

NAMING AND DESIGN RULES

ACTION (9/16): JB to draft a new rule stating that the schema

retains and expresses the sequence of business information

entities in the model plus a note observing that in UBL

the BBIEs.

Pending review in this week's Atlantic meeting.

ACTION (9/16): JB to supply a missing angle bracket and change

"BuyerParty" to "SupplierParty" in Example 12.

Expected attendance: TM, MC, GKH; possibly AS, MG, AH

April/May 2009

East coast North America (probably in DC area or possibly in

Ottawa) has been suggested, but it's possible that we will

have an opportunity to meet with UN/CEFACT at their 20-24

April 2009 Forum in Rome.

ACTION: TM to inquire regarding colocation.

August 2009

We are agreed on a preliminary plan to meet the week before

or the week after the Balisage conference in Montréal; this

would be 3-7 August or 10-14 August 2009, depending on which

is chosen for Balisage.  It's possible that we will wish to

hold a plenary in conjunction with the UN/CEFACT Forum in

Sapporo 28 September - 2 October, in which case the Montréal

meeting will be considered a working session.

TC CONCALL SCHEDULE

AGREED that TM will chair the Pacific call 20|21 October and

that the Pacific call 10|11 November won't present a problem

following:
