SC report: Context Methodology
• Matt Gertner has resigned chairmanship
• Are there enough people willing to work on this right now, or shall we put CM on hold while we work on NDR and LC?
SC report: Administrative• Preliminary comment: our technical subcommittee
work is world class!
• We have a new set of meeting/membership rules
• I’m now going to start warning and then eliminating nonactive members
SC report: Marketing
• CogniTran has agreed to print brochures for the XML 2002 conference (at which I will be keynoting)
• I have a pending AI to draft a UBL brochure
• This will be reviewed by the MSC via email
SC report: Liaison (1)Good news: great liaison membership
• ACORD (insurance)
• ARTS (retail sales)
• e.centre (UK ecommerce standards)
• EIDX (electronics)
• HL7 (healthcare)
• NACS (convenience stores)
• RosettaNet (information technology)
• SWIFT (banking)
• VCA (optical supplies)
• XBRL (accounting)
• X12 (EDI)
• UN/EDIFACT (EDI)
SC report: Liaison (2)
Bad (?) news: not much input this review cycle• Short review cycle (and false start)
• Did not align gracefully with the various meeting schedules
• The vertical industry standards organizations are experiencing the same resource problems as the rest of us
• Twenty years of EDI, four years of xCBL, and a year of UBL hasn’t left much to add to the components
• I think that input will vastly increase once we turn early implementers loose on some finished schemas
• Silver lining: we can concentrate on finishing NDR
