- Expedited agenda items:
- Request to approve 2011 Project Scope Statement Template at TSC Tracker # 1752, Project Insight # 715
- Dave described some of the changes to the scope statement. John added that Hans offered to coordinate some of the ONC requirements with the Lab effort. We don’t have a structured way to manage coordination activities with ONC and that is of concern. John asks Dave and Karen to discuss with him further to monitor and track these requests as ONC makes them. Lynn notes Roadmap Reference should refer to Strategic Initiative. Dave notes that there’s already a request for next year to remove the section.
- Motion: John moves to approve the document with the SI wording change. Ravi seconds.
- Vote: Unanimously approved.
- Request to approve 2011 Project Scope Statement Template at TSC Tracker # 1752, Project Insight # 715
- ArB Report – Charlie Mead reports his email sent to the list on balloting SAIF book(let) for April ballot to define which parts are RM-ODP and which are not. Also whether need to address Frank’s comments on ECCF. If there was no substance to address other than those ideas regarding alignment in Technology viewpoint and use of certification as noun/verb. ArB voted not to find the remaining comments as substantive. The disposition and notification functions on the peer review comments have been completed.
- Review action items –
- From 2010-02-22: Lynn will look into options for version control for a common approach, with John’s and Austin’s help, for Lynn (#1544)
- The SVN function in GForge, as well as the regular GForge document tracker, or even wiki file upload versioning are all acceptable. The SVN option with Tortoise SVN client was thought to be too much overhead. This item can be closed.
- Suspended: John and Charlie Mead will work on a one sheet overview of SAIF vs NIEM, reviewed by ArB with the HL7 position. (#1548). John states that they are really two different universes. NIEM is dev methodology for specs across SDOs. SAIF is our methodology for different paradigms. If NIEM was only HL7 and they wanted to include services it would be more appropriate. Should we retain this item? Lynn described the initial reason for this issue. Austin asks John and Charlie to come back next week and address their further intent with this. ACTION ITEM John to talk to Charlie
- Suspended: Identify actions needed to be taken by the TSC based on Roadmap subcommittee recommendations. (#1573) Austin will review
- Create Project Scope Statement for TSC Product and Services Strategy Project for Ken (#1579) Ken is not on the call

- Revised plan for Enterprise Architecture Implementation Project for Calvin and Charlie (#1648) – ArB is working on new Governance Framework as presented at January WGM, this can be closed.
- From 2010-02-22: Lynn will look into options for version control for a common approach, with John’s and Austin’s help, for Lynn (#1544)
- Review new WGM action items: TSC Members please review!
- Calvin will check with Keith on his Google Map for CDA Usage for V3 marketing/usage statistics.

- CTO Report - John Quinn – already covered the conversation with Hans on ONC coordination.
- Affiliates Report – Ravi Natarajan/ Jay Zimmerman – Nothing to report
- Domain Experts Report–Ed Tripp – Two votes underway in the Steering Division coming to the TSC soon. One on next week’s agenda
- Foundation & Technology Report–Tony Julian – no report
- Structure & Semantic Design Report–Gregg Seppala – nothing this week
- Technical & Support Services Report- no co-chairs available
- Discussion on Project Health metrics - see latest Project Report
- Dave described the next release of Project Health metrics, with green, yellow, and red columns marking the aging of next milestone dates as active & on target, active & behind < 4 mos, or active and behind > 4 mos (one WGM cycle). Would like to come up with project scoring system similar to WG Health and incorporate into project approval process to provide input to Work Groups when bringing in new projects for approval to see how well they’re managing their existing projects. Ed asks if we can change ‘active’ to ‘pre-ballot active’. Austin notes that ballot status can be a black hole, also as some projects can sit in ballot statuses for long times – maybe need another set of columns to monitor time in ballot status, DSTU period, etc. Count of times they go through ballot was discussed by Dave and Karen.
- How should Dave continue this? Use a GForge tracker like we do for WG Health metrics suggestions, or should Lynn coordinate with Dave. Austin asks him to come back next week to discuss further once we have better attendance. ACTION ITEM: Lynn will put the Project Health on next week’s agenda and Dave will come back to discuss further.
- Should Dave leave it viewable in the project spreadsheet? It’s based on factual information, no reason to hide it.
- Discussion on Project Health metrics - see latest Project Report
- WGM Planning -
- Marketing and promotion - update from HQ – new WGM page is available on web site
- TSC preparations - Lynn Laakso
- Working Group preparations - agendas has been updated for May WGM
- TSC meeting for projects had a conflict in room requests (Weds Q4) – TSC Needs to have a way to allow its projects to meet in parallel. There was a discussion earlier about allowing projects to reserve rooms, not just work groups.
- Organizational Relations Committee update (semiweekly) - Ken McCaslin was not available.
- Discussion Topics:
- postpone open issues list
- Product Quality Plan meeting at 1 PM today is cancelled. Austin is looking at folding that in under the SAIF Architecture Program. One approach in the Product Quality Plan is to use the ECCF, which brings it into that Program realm. Ravi agrees that such a Product Quality Plan would be a deliverable of the SAIF Architecture program itself.
- Gregg notes that the discussion at the WGM sounded like what we had done so far was interesting but not necessarily how we wanted to proceed? The approach to document the architecture used in the program (around the Composite Order) would provide an initial set of concrete examples.
- Ed feels that understanding what customers expect from HL7 in a quality product is still worth pursuing separately. Austin noted that Bob was checking in on getting some poll results to help us determine that.
- Austin will send an email on cancelling the call and hopefully we’ll learn more on the architecture program at that time.
Adjourned 11:51 AM EST.
