Liora’s Document on T3F Organization:

For Board agenda: review and comment on initial T3F agenda, per below

Initial T3F agenda:

  1. leadership: chair or co-chairs: one elected, one appointed? topic for Board to discuss
  2. self-definition: mission statement
  3. projects & priorities: see list below; T3F should discuss, set priorities, timelines; suggest the T3F proposes a priority and reviews with BoD and TSC in January if at all possible to a) create awareness, b) get buy-in.
  4. work structure: within and between WGM; suggest bi-weekly telecons outside WGM; within WGM, suggest M-T-Th-F 8:00-9am;

Projects & priorities:

Technical: (from the original Board charter)

  • Define parameters of an HL7 technical architecture including:
  • Relationship among HL7 technical work products including specifications, implementation guides and tools.
  • Relationship of those products to external products/standards
  • Define the relationship of these products to the HL7 Products & Services strategy.
  • Establish an approach to meeting new product requirements identified by the Products & Services Task Force.

(added later, as illustrations of the above)

  • Harmonization of work products: what are the processes and how are they managed?
  • When to create a new specification and when to constrain an existing specification?
  • When to use messaging and when to use a service oriented architecture?
  • When to use a message and when to use a document?

(issues raised during the discussion of the election)

Technical coordination and structures:

  • How will the T3F (and future Technical Directorate) work with the TSC, the Affiliates, MNM and the ARB?
  • How will the structure and function of the TSC and ARB change to meet the objectives of the ORC and SITF?
  • Continued need to distinguish TCs from SIGs: is this still functional?
  • Need for formal project teams managed by TCs (2- or 3-tier organization, but not TC/SIG)?
  • Need for RIM TC?
  • Need for Clinical Statement &/or TermInfo TC?
  • Need for other consolidation/refinement of committee structures?
