    Tim McGrath (vice chair)
    Andy Schoka

STANDING ITEMS

    Additions to the calendar:
       http://ubl.xml.org/events

       JB: Have added our three 2009 UBL TC meetings.  Also updated
       the TC web page to note two current public reviews.

    Liaison reports

       AS: ICG audit report at last week's UN/CEFACT Forum shows
       significant issues with CC library... some of which we tried
       to raise a couple of years ago.

       TM: eBGT "three library" framework currently under
       discussion presents a window of opportunity to resolve these
       issues.  UBL 2 is based on its own methodology and does not
       depend on this.

    Subcommittee report: PSC

       TM: Will discuss next steps with PLB in Copenhagen next
       week.

    Subcommittee report: TSC

       AS: Met last week and continue to work on understanding
       alignment with CC library.  Next meeting scheduled for
       Thursday at 18:30 New York time.

       AGREED to hold TSC meetings for the next few weeks at a time
       arranged for the convenience of participants in Europe.
       Time/date will be decided in the meeting this Thursday,
       probably 2 December during the afternoon in Europe.

    Review of Atlantic call minutes

       GKH: Answered the question about "should" vs. "must" in mail
       to the TC.

       No other comments.

INTERNATIONAL DATA DICTIONARY

    JB: Sent announcement to ubl-dev and ebxml-dev.

    TM: This was forwarded by others to the eBIF and BII lists.

    GKH: Followed up with pointer to summary info on Crane site:

    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-dev/200811/msg00014.html

    AS: The IDD document did not actually contain the spreadsheets
    in the PDF.

    JB: This is how we publish multipart documents (as hypertexts).
    The cover doc contains pointers to the rest of the package.
    It's all in the zip file.

FORMATION OF TURKISH LOCALIZATION SUBCOMMITTEE (TRLSC)

    JB: Letter ballot ends Tuesday; will be asking OASIS to create
    the subcommittee web site Wednesday.

OTHER LOCALIZATION SUBCOMMITTEES

    JB: Still haven't heard from DKLSC regarding the update that
    was expected in December.

    TM: Will discuss with PLB next week.

    JB: Would be great to have a Portuguese version.

    GKH: Joel Paula may be able to help with this.

    JB: I should check with former Sun Micro contacts in Brazil
    first.

    ACTION: JB to follow up with contacts in Brazil.

UBL WORK SCHEDULE

    AGREED to maintain current plan for the time being.

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE (XAdES)

    JB: This seems to be progressing.  Will check back with Juli嫕
    next week.

CONFORMANCE AND CODE LIST VALIDATION

    JB: Maybe distinguish "compliance" (wrt schemas) from "use"
    (wrt code lists)?

    GKH/JB: Appears that this is in line with the characterization
    of "default" code lists in Appendix E of the UBL 2.0 Standard.

    AGREED that what's required here is an explanation in the
    Customization Guidelines.

    ACTION: JB to draft a new section on code list use for possible
    addition to the Customization Guidelines after close of public
    review.  For discussion in Pacific call 1|2 December.
