Governance

  1. Discussion topics:
    • Filtering on 'tool-enabling' artifacts available to non-members (30 minutes)
      • See email attachments on machine processable artifacts and relevant discussions
        • Presentation-focused versus structural focus. Most are structural. Presentation format can be derived from some structural which serves both purposes.
        • Woody argues that formats created to support the purpose is of concern. Word documents enable a database but the PDFs are not, for V2 artifacts.
        • PDF and HTML versions of V3 artifacts are not called out on the list. V2 #11 is duplicate. V2 1.1 XML example messages to be struck as they are not intended for machine processing but human understanding.
        • Arden Syntax logic modules not balloted; we have not created any
        • Templates in Trifolia database are built from HL7 IGs; ballot content is created by export from the Trifolia tool
        • Would the Board want to declare the entire list for members-only; parsing individual items such as the RIM need to be brought out to highest level bullets and exceptions be at top-level bullet level. Asterisked items are under continuing consideration by the EC and TSC.
    • Draft metrics for mid-tier governance and management group health. Example attendance metrics for TSC WGH Tracker #2583 (Austin, Calvin)
      • Approach was to look at WGH and find adaptations for mid level governance (SD, FGB and FMG). If this extends to the Affiliates, the International Council would fall under this. Ravi agrees we should add them though they don't report to us but as a recommendation. Certain Board appointed committees joined T3SD and have some WGH reports but others don't e.g. ORC vs International Mentoring. Ravi notes we should have a consistent approach. We can propose it and allow the Board to decide whether certain groups may exempt themselves, notes John. Propose these to the International Council at least. We would drop yellow and red items. Need more thought on the metric on groups overseen by a group being healthy. Active projects may be a challenge for many overseer groups though the TSC sponsors projects. Calvin suggests we consider a set of core measures and allow overseer groups to add measures as appropriate. Please consider and review for further discussion at Atlanta.

      • Activities with Other SDOs meeting this week 2013-03-28_Activities_SDO_Call panelist suggestions?
