     • Ravi asks about the predicted timeline for the withdrawal of the negatives; Gregg doesn’t know the details but in reviewing the Ballot Tally there were 18 affirmatives needed to pass so it will have to be withdrawn. Gregg withdraws on their behalf and proceeds with the next one.

   • Tabled Motion: Approve project scope statement updated for Vocab of FTSD: Develop and publish best practices for vocabulary within Conformance profiles at Project Insight # 496, TSC Tracker # 1903, cosponsored by Implementation and Conformance WG.
     • Rob notes these have been around a long time, needed to be updated to allow us to leverage the ISO work for future guidance. Austin asks what the deliverable will be? The project is really just to review the ISO document, and it remains TBD what the outcome of the process. The success criteria also states approval and guidance as an informative HL7 document, but is dependent on the outcome of the review process. Calvin asks if additional work needs to be done then new project statements would be developed for those processes.
     • Rob makes an amendment to Success criteria
     • Ravi asks what WG within ISO TC215 this technical report belongs to? Rob wasn’t sure; John notes that TC 215 is reviewing their structure and the locations of things may be changing.
     • Austin asks if this needs to go back to the Vocab WG. Rob agrees it probably does. The ISO meeting follows our Orlando WGM so it could be brought back to the TSC at the 2011MayWGM.
     • Vote: Motion tabled to Orlando after WG and Steering Division review in Orlando, for TSC’s Tuesday luncheon meeting.
   • Tabled Motion: Approve project scope statement updated for Vocab: Develop and publish Principles & guidelines of Terminology Maintenance at Project Insight # 499, TSC Tracker # 1902.

     • No additions to the agenda for Orlando
   • Agenda time requests from Project Services/PMO for their usual update and overview of the PBS Metrics reports, from PIC for "Resource Directory" – we’ll look at that on Saturday, like a help-wanted section for volunteers. Ken notes that their presentation is a “pre-discovery” to ask if the request makes sense and get participation going down the road. Ken asks if someone from PIC should be there? He will reach out to the PIC co-chairs, since he can’t be there. TSC will look at it anyway and give their feedback. Both PIC cochairs are international members so they’re probably planning to be around on Sunday.
     • Security agenda item moving under the umbrella of the SAIF Architecture Program.
