UBL Administration Track Jon Bosak, Sun Microsystems Chair, OASIS UBL TC UBL TC Meeting Minneapolis 7 June 2002
Liaison SC • Scheduling • Can’t do Miami in October (CC conflict, etc.) • eBTWG syntax recommendations • We will file an objection (arbitrary, unfair, discriminatory) • CEFACT participation • We’ve always wanted this • Still problems with the structure • We can either become part of CEFACT or become its “preferred provider” for XML syntax • Talks will continue; delegation in September
Marketing SC • Conference brochure • Roughed out main points, Bosak to create draft • Presentation materials • Good ideas for additional diagrams explaining role of UBL • Marketing NDR pieces (e.g., code lists) as deliverables in themselves • Forgot to ask: do we need to revise our list of document deliverables (focus on supply chain)? • [answer: this is an issue for resolution by the TC] • Need SC updates to the stock slides
Coordination within OASIS • Options: form Joint Committee (JC) or invite related groups into our Liaison SC • Best bet: form two JCs, one for content coordination and one for design coordination • Advantages • Provides forums for input and debate (internal and external) • Answers questions about OASIS coordination • Not binding on our work • Need to discuss with other TCs (initially CIQ and CTML; perhaps others)
TC Organization • We need to adopt our current “quorum fallback” rules on a continuing basis • We’ve been told by OASIS that our rule for ubl list subscription will change in any event • We will continue to think about ways to develop a form of organization that maximizes both membership continuity and the ability of all interested persons to participate in the TC • I intend to submit a proposal to the TC before our next meeting
Role of the CSC • Open question: do we need to extend the remit of the Chairs SC to include policy discussions and promote better coordination between SCs? • (we feel that from now on the first day should be discussion of cross-sc issues rather than reports) • “extend the remit to include identification of issues (especially cross-SC issues) that need to be brought before the TC”
Meeting Schedule • Must have concrete deliverables by end of year • Need to meet with X12 again not long after that • Thinking so far: • 30 Sep to 4 Oct 2002: UBL meeting in Boston (follows UN/CEFACT Forum 9/9 to 9/13; precedes X12 meeting in Miami the following week) • 11/18 to 11/22: UBL meeting in Menlo Park (week before Thanksgiving) • Review cycle starts around the beginning of the year • Early February 2003: Joint meeting with X12 in Denver • March/April in Denmark (near time of CEFACT Forum)
Thank You! • You’re an outstanding group • The group is getting better all the time • The chairs are stellar • You’re letting Mark and me operate very effectively at the political and marketing level • It’s a privilege to work with you! • Special thanks to Mark for arranging this meeting with X12 and DISA • Special thanks to Peter Yim for hosting Netmeeting • And thanks to X12 and DISA for having us
