     • Vote: Unanimously approved.
   • Motion from Domain Experts: Approve project scope revision request for CIC - Cardiology Domain Analysis Model Release 2 at TSC Tracker # 1767, Project Insight # 726.
   • Gregg asked about section 6 in relation to contents of a DAM in regards to data interchange. There will be products derived from this DAM implemented in organizations outside of HL7. Woody asks if an extension into all of cardiology has implications to all of Internal Medicine. Ed notes that BRIDG has run into some of the same issues in determining termination points for handoff. They are aware and will be cognizant of that issue. Calvin mentioned that they have checked 2.b for a public document. Ed moves to amend the motion to acknowledge the TSC approves with caveat that EC Must approve the public document. Calvin seconds.
   • Vote: unanimously approved.
7. Discussion Topics:
   • TSC Technical Newsletter - should we continue? Austin got an email from Karen today asking if we want to continue as we have not had regular contributions from across the TSC. Ed asks if there is data on whether it’s being read? Cochairs in DESD didn’t seem to be aware of the articles that Austin and Ed had contributed. Austin suggests we include a link to a poll to identify who had read the newsletter. Ravi notes that when he asks the Affiliates what they want to bring back to the TSC he is met with dead silence. Woody notes this publication is expressly for issues related to the TSC and they discussed it on the Monday night at the WGM. Minutes are not sufficient to inform people, we need a digest of what the TSC has done. Ravi says Lynn’s weekly updates are also a digest. Austin notes he and Ed have written something for each one. Ed asks if we should incorporate a TSC section in the newsletter rather than a separate publication. Austin and Lynn will take the idea back to Karen. John will be in the office this week and will likely have a conversation on that with Karen as well.
   • SAIF Architecture Program PSS for discussion
     • There was also a version that Patrick and others had worked on, probably need to be reconciled. Patrick notes that he’s back this week and they can start batting it around. Question is whether do they want a lightweight one to get started or dive into a heavy-duty description. Austin felt this project /program would be around for a while. Patrick agrees the lightweight approach would be better. Austin also notes that it’s appropriate for professional staffing. Ron notes the PSS should indicate its long continuity, long running nature, who we need to establish criteria for inclusion and exclusion in the program. It will be hard to identify what the criteria are for determining when it’s ‘done’. ACTION ITEM: Austin and Patrick will work on something for next week.
   • T3SD/TSC/Board Proposal - Board Appointed Co-Chairs/Liaisons in T3SD WGs: Ken McCaslin; GOM proposal tendered
     • Ken wasn’t sure if the Board had considered this proposal yet but the GOC has already drafted a change to the GOM. Board appointed chairs in the Steering Division should also be Board Liaisons to produce Board reports for the WGMs with cochairs present at the BOD meetings to address concerns. They would keep the SD cochairs informed and let them know what’s going on regarding BOD activities. Should come out from GOC as peer review next week. Ravi asks what the nomination or selection criteria are for these cochairs. The committee would select a cochair to be Board-appointed cochair to serve at the discretion of the Board chair and ratified by the Board. The term would be the length of term of the Board chair or at the BOD chair’s discretion. Woody notes that it would be nice to have 3-6 months wiggle room to allow the new Board chair some time to acclimate before naming new chairs. Should be appointed by the chair but allowed to run 3-6 months past the term of the appointing chair. Ken wanted to give the new chair the option to choose new chairs if he or she wishes. All you need to say is that these cochairs serve at the pleasure of the board chair.
     • Ken accepts the friendly amendments and moves to approve. Woody seconds.
     • VOTE: unanimously approved. Austin doesn’t know if it’s on today’s agenda but will represent it for the TSC.
   • What should be reported on a regular basis? What should those reports look like? ACTION ITEM: everybody think about it and come back in 2 weeks.
8. Reports: (attach written reports below from Steering Divisions et al.)
   • http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/download/docmanfileversion/6138/8013/CTOBODReport07Feb11.doc
     • The National Coordinator resigning was in the news last week (Blumenthal). Today’s Board meeting will discuss relationship with ONC.
     • Ken asks if the Product Briefs will be distributed to the TSC for review. John is reviewing them himself this week in Ann Arbor and he’ll have a better idea on that after his visit.

adjourned 11:55 AM EST

Next Steps

Actions (Include Owner, Action Item, and due date) Austin and Lynn will take the idea of incorporating a TSC section in the newsletter rather than a separate publication back to Karen.
