NAMING AND DESIGN RULES

JB: See Atlantic minutes.  Work will continue in the

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE (XAdES)

JB: Roberto Cisternino has requested that we consider the

addition of a specification for the use of XAdES (developed by

ETSI) for the advanced electronic signature of UBL documents.

TM: ETSI have developed XAdES, a data encryption standard for

electronic signatures in XML that is used in the financial

community and other areas such as etendering.  It appears that

Oriol has implemented XAdES for UBL in Spain; this could serve

as a model for others.  Roberto has been asked by a member from

ETSI to form a liaison for further work.

AGREED that since the method uses UBL extension and a subset of

UBL signature, it qualifies as a profile of UBL and should be

so defined if resources can be found to do the work.

ACTION: Starting next week, JB to ask for UBL TC members

interested in forming a Task Group to work on an XAdES UBL

Profile and someone to serve as a liaison to ETSI.

2009 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

19-23 January 2009 in Fremantle

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200808/msg00010.html

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

TM: Urgently need to know who will be attending and also

able to present on Friday of the meeting.  This information

is needed for a proposal to a prospective sponsor.  It would

be particularly valuable for someone from Europe to speak

regarding BII.

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.

JB: It appears that our work in that time frame will be

primarily content-related rather than XML-related.

AGREED that we will plan on a UBL plenary in Rome and

schedule a separate working session on the U.S. east coast

if it so happens that there is significant technical work to

be accomplished at that time.

ACTION: TM to arrange colocation with UN/CEFACT.

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.
