Agenda & Proceeding:
 
1. Welcome from Chair and appointment of Secretary to take minutes
· Peter Yim will be taking minutes
 
2. Acceptance of previous minutes
· Postponed to next week.
 
3. Report on Face-to-Face meeting
· Review of Feedback to our v0.64 Distribution Package --
o Time-table for collection of Review Feedback now revised, based on request. Closing time of Review Period now set to 13-May-2002
o Editorial team assigned to collect and collate feedback for the SC. The team shall consist of Peter, Lisa, Sally & Gunther. 
o Review of the feedback will be done at the next face-to-face in Minneapolis.
· It was generally agreed that we have not taken our Library Content process to a matured enough level yet, nor have we adequately documented it. Therefore, we shall continue to work together as one team (rather than splitting up to sub-teams) until everyone is comfortable. 
· Choice of “Next Documents” LCSC to tackle [reported by Sally]
o A prioritized list of 7 (in addition to “Order”) documents were identified.
o This will include the key Maintenance, Repair sand Operations (MRO) documents (based on xCBL work), with the addition of “Time Series” and “Inventory Report” so that in entirety, the documents will cover all essential ones in MRO and Supply Chain.
o Since there was a previously voted on work plan, we will need to formally adopt (propose and get the TC confirmation on) the new work plan with new choice of documents (which differ slightly with the last agreed ones.)
o Sally, Frank and Arofan to put out a position paper on the above before we will put it to a vote by e-mail for the entire TC. The plan is to have this ready by 05-Apr-2002, so that LCSC can discuss on it on our 09-Apr-2002 conference call.
· Tim: The rest of the Barcelona Meeting were mainly “marketing” in nature – to position UBL to become the XML solution of the UN/CEFACT work. Believe we achieved our objective.
· Tim: on discussion with Lisa, we would want to have a more formal channel for feeding back our work to EWG, especially with their CCSD (Core Component Supplemental Document) project team.
· Next UBL face-to-face meeting is now scheduled to be hosted by the X12 Meeting. It will be in Minneapolis, MN during the week commencing 03-Jun-2002. (For details, refer to the the http://www.x12.org website.)
 
4. Action arising from previous meeting
· Frank, Arofan, Sally - business process definition for SCM (see above)
· Tim - Announce new schedule for review (see above)
· Tim - Publish presentation slides (Tim has forwarded them to Jon Bosak.)
 
5. Current Review
· Distribution package
 - More Examples
 - Stylesheet (have one now, but needs to tweak to get it working)
· Tim is planning to release an update to the Distribution this coming Thu 28-Mar-02 California time.
o Peter says he may have something to add (on the feedback process and mechanism) to help make the collation and management of feedback more effective. He’ll review the situation and get back to Tim by end Wed if he does want to get any changes in.
· Comments to date
o Some already received during the UN/CEFACT presentations & meeting.
 
6. Work plan

9. Other Business
· meeting times – [Tim] we now have a larger European membership, and 3 Asian members (2 from S.Korea and 1 from Hong Kong.) There has been discussions on the possibility to bring up our regular Tuesday call by 2 hours (i.e. to 7:00am California time). Not discussing this today, but this issue will need to come up again.
· Tim & Lisa will work on getting our new members onto our mailing list.
· [Marion] – see Robin Cover’s “What’s New” section, CIQ’s Global Address XML Definition has been announced. Would like to see where we stand with that work. Tim responded that we will await their feedback on our released Distribution Package, and work from there.
· [Ray] – queried about maintenance issues. Tim responded that we will work on the process only, and probably see to it that other organizations (UN/CEFACT, ISO, …) will be doing the actual maintenance.
· [Peter] there will be a presentation at our next call. It’ll start at beginning, say at 9:10am. Peter will email everyone the invitation, some recommended readings (as requested by the joint LCSC & NDRSC meeting during last week’s face-to-face) and will post the powerpoint presentation to our tempMeetingResources folder prior to next week’s meeting. (Tim says there’s a group in eBTWG called BOTNCM who is also talking about setting up an ontology. Tim will forward their discussion on this to Peter.)
