Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1. Agenda review and approval - Austin Kreisler
2. Agenda planning for Atlanta
   • Panel topic: how the SDOs communicate about what each are working on, whether projects or other units of work, both internally and externally.
     • Scott clarifies that we are just talking about the practices, not trying to develop new processes at this time. Christian notes that these processes are known best to those close to each SDO. With the work going on, it's a challenge to communicate what is happening internally much more to SDOs outside.
     • Ken asks what the end goal to achieve is; what are we doing to transpose what is discussed into some form of action. Might wish to revisit the format and objective, pick a sticky topic and try to get three actionable ideas to try to improve 'x'. Austin finds this a very different approach to what we have used this session for in the past.
     • Should we review what we want to accomplish with these sessions on the Sunday session rather than Monday? Ken sees the result of policy issues identified go to the Board, technical issues to TSC, etc. Best practices learning might get referred to the appropriate areas. Let's address areas of HL7 concern and then come out with some tangible actions. Austin interprets this as taking recommendations to different SDOs based on the discussion. Ken would seek to identify a few nuggets on which consensus of best practices could be reached.
   • Panel composition review
     • How to find panelists: Ken suggests crowdsourcing the lists. Ask for contributors for dialogue on (potentially painful) on communication strategy and areas of improvement. A dialog and discovery on "this problem" and looking for some speakers. Ken suggests a diversity of community in the panelists, which might not be the usual suspects but perhaps those with controversial points of view. Suggestions included Charles Parisot, Bernd Blobel, Keith Boone, send general call to cochairs list or members?
     • Richard Soley or Robert from OMG might be good. Ed Hammond would be another.
     • Scott and Ken will work on a draft message to solicit participants.
     • Should we meet again in one or two weeks. Should be one week to review the message and get it out there then perhaps two weeks after that to review with panelists.
   • Scott will not be in Atlanta at the WGM, conflicts with NCPDP.
   • Lynn not available next week; Austin will put up a GTM if needed.

Adjourned 1:47 PM EDT
