Hi all, Pls find below information on dial-ins to the Singapore plenary meeting. MC: Dial-ins to meeting in Singapore? Kama>> Telephone : +65 678 44333 Conference Code : 800324 Rgds Kama -----Original Message----- From: jon.bosak@sun.com [mailto:jon.bosak@sun.com] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 4:57 AM To: ubl@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [ubl] Minutes of Atlantic UBL TC call 25 October 2006 MINUTES OF ATLANTIC UBL TC MEETING 15:00 - 17:00 UTC WEDNESDAY 25 OCTOBER 2006 ATTENDANCE Peter Borresen Jon Bosak (chair) Tony Coates Mavis Cournane Mike Grimley Betty Harvey Zarella Rendon Andy Schoka Paul Thorpe STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm ACTION: JB to correct the UN/CEFACT entry for March 2007 (U.S. venues appear to be off the table). Review of Pacific call AS: Note that all MoU/MG material is on the ISO site: http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2489/Ittf_Home/MoU-MG/ MoumgDocs.html [If anyone has a more direct link, please let us know!] No other comments. TC CALL SCHEDULE Seasonal time change coming again; see http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html Thus our schedule will change next week (the week of 30 October). Conveniently, however, we don't have to deal with this for a month, because (as usual) we will not be holding regular TC conference calls the week before and the week after the next f2f TC meeting (6-10 November). So this Atlantic TC call will be our last till 22 November. The TC will, of course, remain active through email, and emergency work sessions will be scheduled as needed. In particular, we may need to discuss the progress of UBL 2.0 through the OASIS Standardization process, so please hold open our usual meeting times just in case. ACTION: JB to prepare a message detailing the winter call schedule. SUPPORT PACKAGE Review of the draft SP schedule: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200610/msg00049.html We reviewed the schedule in detail; minor changes (too inconsequential to minute) will be included in the next draft. Key outcome: we are now planning to begin packaging the first edition of the SP in mid-January. MEETING CALENDAR AGREED to accept the offer from NIST to host our UBL TC meeting 5-9 March 2007 in Gaithersburg, Maryland (near Washington, D.C.). Visitor information can be found at http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/visitor/visitor.htm Note that NIST runs shuttles twice an hour to and from the Shady Grove Metro station. MG: Will be staying at the Courtyard in Gaithersburg. JB: Staying in DC and taking Metro to Shady Grove sounds like more fun. MG: But Metro takes 45 minutes from downtown plus the shuttle ride... would add about two hours of travel every day. JB: Hm, maybe better to stay in Gaithersburg and take Metro into the city as desired. Let's discuss this further when we resume TC calls in November. ACTION: MG to request a presentation from NIST on their NDR quality-of-design tool. ACTION: JB to prepare a description of who we are, what we do, and what we will be doing during the meeting for circulation at NIST. JB: Regarding the May/June meeting in Ithaca: we've got a good meeting room reserved through the Engineering school at Cornell, and magnificent hotel rooms are available at the Statler (run by the Graduate School of Hotel Administration and located on campus about a block away from the meeting room) at rates that are about half of what's ordinarily charged. Unfortunately, the rates are contingent upon soon securing a guarantee from someone (OASIS or one of our corporate members) to pay for the rooms even if people cancel. As we're unlikely to get such a guarantee, I intend to ask the Statler people whether we can secure rooms with individual commitments, and if so, by what date those commitments have to be made. Assuming that the answer is yes, I'll be asking members in our next round of TC calls (the week of 20 November) who would be willing to commit by the cutoff date. So please think this over and be ready to discuss. Possible fallbacks include making hotel reservations off campus closer to the date of the meeting or simply holding the meeting at Sun offices in Manhattan. ACTION ITEM REVIEW ACTION: JB to verify MHB attendance in Singapore. Done (but no reply yet). ACTION: MC to ping TM with copy to MG regarding the planned ATG NDR gap analysis call. MC/MG: We have signaled our willingness to participate and have been expecting a reply from Mary Kay or Jostein; we're still waiting. PB: Jostein says there is an ATG2 meeting 15 January, but he doesn't know where yet. TC: I'm supposed to be a member of the UN/CEFACT contingent to the gap analysis team, and I have received no notice about any of this. MC: Long-term planning is needed to arrange attendance; we told them this last time, when we were given just a few weeks notice to show up in Walldorf. Now we're getting one week's notice regarding a requirements list [referring to message from Mark Crawford dated 20 October]. ATG is making no attempt to facilitate anything. With a few good conference calls, we might not need to meet in person at all. Furthermore, we've received no comments on the UBL 2.0 NDR, which is in the middle of public review. I'm a bit surprised that we haven't received any comments from ATG, given that we are supposed to be engaged in a convergence discussion. This is when we could be working in advance on this. I had hoped for a starting point in preparation for the gap analysis. JB: (Reviews correspondence between ATG2 and the UBL spec and NDR editors) It seems we have to reply to Jostein today. Key NDR business requirements not yet listed by ATG2 appear to include code list value validation methodology, extension, and global scoping. (Agreed) ACTION: JB to reply to Jostein regarding NDR business requirements and meetings with UBL NDR editors. OTHER BUSINESS PB: Update on the UBL conference in Copenhagen: we now have 50 people registered for the symposium, with more expected, and several sponsors, including Microsoft. See ublconference.com . MC: Dial-ins to meeting in Singapore? JB: TBD. ACTION: MC/MG to set calling times for the NDR work in Singapore and let the rest of us know; the calls will of course be open to participation by members of the UBL/ATG2 gap analysis team.
