   Review of Pacific call (and how this process works)

      We reviewed voting membership, the "virtual meeting"
      concept, meetings vs. work sessions, the standing item
      "review of Pacific (or Atlantic) call" and implicit approval
      of decisions noted in the minutes.

   Support page maintenance

      AGREED to add the Model Letter Agreement to the Support
      Page.

UBL TC MEETING IN STOCKHOLM 24-28 SEPTEMBER 2007

   See Pacific call minutes.

ATLANTIC ACTION ITEMS FROM MANHATTAN

   ACTION: GKH to write up the "Candidate Decision Regarding Code
   List Support" as amended 10 May 2007 (see minutes referenced
   above).

      Pending.

FORMATION OF UPDATE PACKAGE WORK LIST

   AGREED to start tracking a work list for the Update Package.

   ACTION: JB to form initial list of items.  He will be asking
   for a volunteer to maintain the list going forward.

TRACKING ITEMS FROM THE MANHATTAN F2F

   ACTION: MG to investigate the impact of GKH's proposed
   namespace-based versioning mechanism on the NDR.  AGREED that
   if no critical problems are found in this investigation, we
   will adopt GKH's proposal for namespace-based versioning, as
   contained in

      http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23654

      Continuing to track this; BH is looking at it as well.
      And it's on the agenda for Stockholm.  But we really need to
      expose it to a wider audience.  Ask selected reviewers,
      maybe?

      AGREED to begin an email conversation regarding the proposed
      namespace-based versioning mechanism with selected people
      outside the UBL TC, starting with the Danish government
      (PB), HL7 (Anne Wrightson), and ACORD.

      ACTION: JB to begin this discussion, participants to include
      GKH, MG, TonyC, BH, and ZR.

TRACKING ITEM

   We need a decision from the OASIS CLR TC regarding the transfer
   of the code list methodology out of the UBL TC before we can
   begin issuing code list support updates.

      In process; see this week's Pacific minutes.

2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

   28 Jan - 1 Feb 2008 in Manhattan (Hotel Bedford recommended)

      No problems with this.  [I have now reserved the meeting
      rooms and will be asking next week to formally agree on this
      date.  For those new to the group, the rooms are in Sun
      Microsystems facilities on the fourth floor of the building
      at 101 Park Avenue (Park at 40th street), about two blocks
      from Grand Central Terminal.]

   March 2008 in Rome (together with UBL International Day)

      JB: ID organizers are discussing a date early in March.  Is
      the relatively brief interlude between the meeting in
      Manhattan and the meeting in Rome going to be a problem? (No.)

   August 2008 in Montréal

      JB: This would be either the week of 4 August or the week of
      11 August; any problems with that? (No.)

   November or December 2008 in Fremantle

      JB: Too early to schedule yet, but keep in mind.

OTHER BUSINESS

   AS: Discussed TBG17 representation with TM.  We will talk about
   this at the UBL TC plenary in Stockholm.

   JB: This goes under the newly added agenda item "UN/CEFACT
   relationship."
