#**Helen has received a WGM Planning invite for Sydney.  No meeting scheduled for Cambridge. Bob notes there is no plan for having a planning meeting for Cambridge. Helen notes that there was a request and expectation that all WGM have a planning group to promote and encourage maximum attendance.  Changes being made to WGM plans with short-term budget considerations starting with Cambridge were hoped to be communicated to the TSC with Helen as liaison. Perhaps a biweekly call with Helen, Mark and Lillian.

#*Report from TSC Nominations Steward, Ken McCaslin:
 +
#*:Domain Experts: 1 nominee, having difficulty getting a second.
 +
#*:Foundation and Technology: Have 3 nominees.
 +
#*:Structured and Semantic Design: 1 nominee and potentially another.
 +
#*:Technical and Support Services: 1 nominee and potentially another.
 +
#*:International Affiliates: Have 2 nominees
 +
#*TSC input to roadmap / product strategy / business planning
 +
#**Adding a layer between Strategic Initiative and Roadmap Tasks, called Strategic Criteria to include the SMART tasks. Draft document will be reviewed by Roadmap task force tomorrow, share with TSC after Task Force meeting.  Not adding particular projects at this time. Projects would refer back to specific criteria.
 +
#**2011 revised business model being developed by Internationalization Task Force.  Budget adjustments will have significant impacts on Tooling investments.
 +
#**Ravi asks how one Roadmap initiative spanning multiple projects, how will success be measured? As new projects come about the new projects are tied to the criteria so that progress on an objective can be measured. Ed asks if there will be a flag on a project to indicate if they are tied to strategic initiative?  The check boxes at the bottom of the Project Scope Statement are a start but we’ll have to evaluate ourselves based on these criteria at the end of the year.
 +
#*Helen leaves the call.
 +
#*Austin notes we need to identify projects that need strategic resources from HL7.  How will we allocate resources to those projects deemed strategic? What resources does HL7 have to be allocated? Charlie notes that the statement of the strategic initiative target for a project is valuable even if no resources are offered. Projects will also be used as metrics for CxO organization evaluation. Charlie sees value even without resources to allocate.
 +
#*In consideration for the state of existing technical infrastructure, and any potential cuts in tooling development would call for TSC involvement in the decision process.
 +
#Call adjourned at 11:55am

      International Affiliates: Have 2 nominees
    • TSC input to roadmap / product strategy / business planning
      • Adding a layer between Strategic Initiative and Roadmap Tasks, called Strategic Criteria to include the SMART tasks. Draft document will be reviewed by Roadmap task force tomorrow, share with TSC after Task Force meeting. Not adding particular projects at this time. Projects would refer back to specific criteria.
      • 2011 revised business model being developed by Internationalization Task Force. Budget adjustments will have significant impacts on Tooling investments.
      • Ravi asks how one Roadmap initiative spanning multiple projects, how will success be measured? As new projects come about the new projects are tied to the criteria so that progress on an objective can be measured. Ed asks if there will be a flag on a project to indicate if they are tied to strategic initiative? The check boxes at the bottom of the Project Scope Statement are a start but we’ll have to evaluate ourselves based on these criteria at the end of the year.
    • Helen leaves the call.
    • Austin notes we need to identify projects that need strategic resources from HL7. How will we allocate resources to those projects deemed strategic? What resources does HL7 have to be allocated? Charlie notes that the statement of the strategic initiative target for a project is valuable even if no resources are offered. Projects will also be used as metrics for CxO organization evaluation. Charlie sees value even without resources to allocate.
    • In consideration for the state of existing technical infrastructure, and any potential cuts in tooling development would call for TSC involvement in the decision process.
  16. Call adjourned at 11:55am
