   Liaison report: Tax XML TC

      SW: No official report from this week's Tax XML TC meeting,
      but did discuss working with UBL.  Resources are a problem.
      They want to set up a call to discuss how to work together.
      They will not be able to put together all the
      jurisdiction-related implementation guides by the end of the
      year.

      JB: We are separating the normative materials from the
      informative ones, so the IGs can be on a separate track.

   Liaison report: ebBP TC

      SG: Progressing as reported last week.

   Subcommittee report: PSC

      SW: Confirmed the Oct 24 date for completing content; talked
      about how to complete the review a little faster.

   Subcommittee report: TSC

      AS: Explained the US Department of Transportation [USDOT]
      electronic freight manifest project to the TSC and USDOT
      interest in the work of the TSC; useful dialog.  TimM
      elaborated on discussions in Lyon with TBG3 and the positive
      response from them.

      SW: Issue: coordinating input from TSC and the catalogue
      team.  Someone needs to coord as SW is doing for PSC.

ACTION ITEM REVIEW

   taxcode for later use in showing schematron applications.

      Done.

THIS MEETING

   UN/CEFACT discussion

      This was a preliminary discussion.  It was noted that we
      need to clarify the meaning of "WG" -- it could be taken to
      mean that the UBL TC would become a WG under one of the
      numbered TBG working groups rather than a working group in
      its own right.

   It was noted that SG would not be on the Pacific call next
   week.
