The wider community of HL7 users and stakeholders
For 2009, a project has been proposed for "TSC Visibility" to illuminate the activities and different roles and responsibilities of the TSC.
Communication to the TSC
Inward communications to the TSC should occur through several paths, including:
- PIC performs a useful communication path today for individuals and new volunteers and affords the added advantage of a forum for discussing procedural issues before they are added ot the PIC open issues list. This role should be continued with PIC as a TSC-appointed committee, and they should continue to maintain the PIC open issues list.
- The TSC will hold an "open mic" session for Co-chairs at each TSC Retreat (Plenary) Meeting with the issues written, logged and formally tracked
- Issues list- The TSC maintains and tracks a publicly available issues list for topics under TSC consideration. This list will require:
- Submittal form - the TSC should develop a standard form for documenting issues. This form should allow the submitter to classify the type and severity of the problem, should identify the perspective from which the individual is submitting the issue, a description of the issue, and the submitters desired or recommended action to resolve the issue. This form would be used for both the "open mic" sessions and for e-mail submissions.
- Issue posting Active issues should be posted and tracked on the TSC Wiki
- Submissions Issues for the list would be received from:
- the TSC "open mic" sessions,
- form submittal (below) or by
- Referral from Ballot reconciliation (through SDs) to TSC
- Maintain a list server for internal TSC communications
- Establish, for those persons not wishing to escalate issues or questions through their Steering Division Representative, an online form for anonymous input through which new issues (using the form) and questions can be submitted. This is available at TSC Feedback Site.
