  1. Introduction of visitors (including declaration of interests) Dave Hamill will be attending; held up in HQ staff call.

    • agenda approved.
  3. Approve Minutes of 2010-11-29_TSC Call Agenda; Ravi abstains, passes (6/0/1).
  4. TSC Chair Transition planning update
    • Today’s is Austin’s first chairing the TSC Call; officially passing the gavel.
    • Ken asks if he’s serving a two year term or filling the remainder of Charlie’s term. Austin’s position will be up for election with the new chair’s term starting January 1 2012.
  5. Review action items – none for today. Review next week.
  6. HL7 Chair Report – Bob notes a tentative new approach on CTO evaluation process this year. Something on Surveymonkey sent to the TSC for the evaluation; more information coming. Evaluations based on strategic initiatives and criteria coming for next year. Austin is also a new board member.
  7. ArB Report – Charlie Mead: last week’s meeting reviewing meeting planning for Sydney. Technical editor on SAIF book contract ends in December so she’s transitioning out. No plan at this time for continuing it. SAEAF tutorials planning: the overview has been well received but the implementation one needs some updating with lessons learned from recent experience with DOD and NCI. Charlie Mead sent the TSC the most recent NCI implementation Guide.
  8. Affiliates Report – Ravi Natarajan/Jay Zimmerman: Ravi reports not much has been happening. Ravi is handing over the communications strategy project to Jay.
  9. Domain Experts Report–Ed Tripp: PC problems and can’t get the agenda, but nothing to report.
  10. Foundation & Technology Report– Mead Walker: no new business since last meeting.
  11. Structure & Semantic Design Report– Calvin Beebe/Gregg Seppala: Calvin notes some things are coming but nothing ready yet.
  12. Technical & Support Services Report- Ken McCaslin/Helen Stevens
    • Public Document section 2b of the PSS Template - Proposal (again) to Remove It - from email thread to list 11/24/2010 11:52 am
      • Dave Hamill is on the call and discusses the emphatic request by the EC to remove the checkbox as it’s not being used correctly.
  13. WGM Planning - agenda setting for January and May WGM (78 registered so far)
    • TSC detailed agenda review next week.
    • The numbers are really low. What is the international distribution? Lynn might have more information on this by next week. International Council e-vote to fund some travel did not reached quorum. We should look at the projected effectiveness of the meeting and check in with key participants to see if they’ve registered yet. Helen notes there are measures intended for gauging effectiveness by the Sydney Organizing Committee; Austin would like to see those on the TSC agenda next week.
    • Working Group preparations - agendas
  14. Organizational Relations Committee update (semiweekly) - Helen Stevens notes they haven’t met.
  15. Helen leaves the call.
  16. Discussion Topics:
    • Proposed GOM revisions: Term limits
      • Bob notes there was not widespread support on the Board for this item but once suggested it needed to follow due process. Ken notes that this is not necessary, as we’ve seen turnover in the group. He also notes there is not a prescription for how long one must ‘sit out’ before being allowed to run again. Ken further notes that as this year’s TSC Nomination Committee chair, it was difficult enough to find candidates and this would hamper the ability to find candidates. The possibility exists that a position could open and not be able to fill an empty slot. Ed adds he doesn’t see the problem defined that this intends to fix.
      • Ken moves to reject this proposed revision; Ed seconds. Charlie McCay suggests we provide the reason that it would be difficult to find candidates and that since the T3F review will be done that this should be reviewed as part of that process. If things should change with more people showing interest in participating on the TSC we can revisit it. Friendly amendment accepted.
    • Motion:The TSC reject this proposed revision with the reason that it would be difficult to find candidates and that since the T3F review will be done that this should be reviewed as part of that process.
      • Vote: unanimously approved. Action item: Lynn will take an action to document this resolution and send to the GOC.
    • TSC SWOT - review for next week.
    • TSC Decision Making Practices - draft based on new template to be sent to the list, and reviewed next week.
    • Calendar for rest of month: 13th, 20th, 27th, and January 3rd. Ken reports he’d be unavailable the 27th, and 27th is bank holiday in UK, Ravi reports. Some members will be in transit or in Australia on the 3rd, so we’ll cancel that too. Only two meetings left then, on the 13th and 20th. We can set up electronic votes for anything that comes up in the interim.

Adjourned at 11:48am EST
