  - Ken is working on a draft of the disposition of comments


Proposed new UBL subcommittees:

  - it is proposed that we disband the existing Procurement Subcommittee and
    constitute two new subcommittees:  Pre-award Procurement Subcommittee and
    Post-award Procurement Subcommittee
  - this will allow for the separate management of the document types involved
    in the very large general topic of procurement
  - for discussion, Tim has depicted in the attached diagram the candidate
    influence areas of the two new subcommittees and the existing
    Transportation Subcommittee
  - Kees commented in the call his concerns that disbanding the former
    subcommittee would lose the existing subcommittee membership and would
    require those members to subscribe to the new committee, and that the
    visibility of the current subcommittee would be lost
  - next steps for each subcommittee:
    - pass a motion in a TC meeting
      - indicate the SC name
      - indicate the SC abbreviation for the web site
      - name the SC chair
