ACTION (6/30): TM to review UBL 2.0 documentation to

identify passages that have been or can be moved to the

Customization Guidelines.

Done.  The first two paragraphs of the CG have been copied

into the first draft of the 2.1 spec, and the section on how

to use the UBL extension has been removed from the 2.1 spec

(superseded by the fuller treatment in the CG).

UBL 2.1 DOCUMENTATION

TM has completed a first draft; JB is now beginning to edit it.

JB and TM have copies of RenderX to produce PDF.

TM: There will be more doctypes and business processes, but we

don't know what they are yet, so we haven't made a lot of

lists.  We will need to standardize what the groups have

provided.  So we've concentrated on placeholders in the first

draft.

JB: How to include transport?

TM: Currently represented by a placeholder: "intermodal freight

management."  We should discuss this in the Friday TSC call.

WEB SITE UPDATES

JB: Have announced approval of IDD Vol. 1 as an OASIS Committee

Specification and added acknowledgements of software

contributions from SyncRO and RenderX per recent TC decisions.

UBL LATAMLSC FORMING

JB: UBL implementors in Peru have volunteered to form a UBL

Localization Subcommittee for Latin America.  We're now in the

process of gathering participants and forming a charter to

propose to the TC.  ESLSC will remain the entry point for

changes or additions to the Spanish translations.  Oriol

believes that Costa Rica may be interested.

ACTION: JB to ping Panama.
