Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1. Introduction of visitors (including declaration of interests) - none identified
2. Agenda review and approval - Austin Kreisler; move provisional FGB appointment to top of discussion since Ravi can only be around the 1st half.
3. Approve Minutes of 2012-07-09 TSC Call Agenda - Ed abstains, passes 7/0/1.
4. Governance (first monthly discussion)
   • Appointment to Provisional FGB
     • EC endorsement for FGB still pending.
     • CTO recommendations from FHIR Governance Task Force: Ron Parker, Grahame Grieve, Woody Beeler, and Ewout Kramer. Motion: John moves these be appointed. Tony seconds.
     • Ravi asks about the organization chart - does it report to the ArB or the TSC? Right now it sits under the TSC. Helen notes that the documents sent out describe its proposed role and location.
     • Vote: unanimously approved.
     • Helen asks if their first task is to set up the FHIR Management Group. Austin notes that the TSC will receive recommendations.
   • Review SAIF Governance (Charlie) - 20 minutes

     One proposed effort discussed previously was continuing to flesh out Strategic Initiative Criteria, but may be premature to discuss in advance of the definition of the precepts we wish to measure. Charlie adds that precepts need to be developed on understanding of product development life cycle. Ed notes that the SI are not necessarily focused on risk management. Austin notes that product consistency may be one example. We do have a risk assessment project already.

   • Review Business Architecture model projects; HL7 AP and ArB
     • Relationship to Risk Assessment project
     • Review of ArB project notes that it is a to-be state development, not necessarily a comprehensive as-is evaluation. This is management piece. TSC needs to put one together for the governance to get to the goal architecture (BAM). Product definition is indeed a problem within HL7 notes Ed.
     • Freida asks if the components of the "then" organization, grouping of product lines (CDA in V3) - are they still up in the air? Woody notes that CDA was noted as the first V3 standard. Austin notes that others are stating that CDA is its own product line, others say the consolidated CDA guides are its own product line as well. Helen notes that this discussion confirms the need for the work - they definitions may be out there in historical versions but we cannot easily refer to them.
     • Need to develop TSC's governance project in this area. Austin will start working on a draft and asks for volunteers for help. Charlie and Woody volunteer.
5. Open Issues
   • Issue # 2041: 2012-2013 TSC Chair nomination and election - Remaining issue was that of holding general election for TSC chair instead of election from within TSC. Freida will verify that this is not on the list of current issues being addressed by the GOC. Close issue.

Next Steps

Actions (Include Owner, Action Item, and due date) Freida will verify that the election of the TSC chair is not on the list of current issues being addressed by the GOC.

Next Meeting/Preliminary Agenda Items Next governance call, review draft PSS for TSC governance project (Austin/Charlie/Woody). Continue review of Business Architecture model projects; HL7 AP and ArB 2012-07-23 TSC Call Agenda.
