Agenda

• Plan conference call schedule
• Determine SD list server subscription policy - "Private" or "Open"
• Designate SD representative to Technical Editing Project Advisory Committee
• Current discussion topics/issues

Conference call schedule

• Committee felt that due to the size of the division and the current proliferation of conference calls it was not possible at this meeting to schedule a time for the meeting. To address this, the members were asked to:
  • Send in their current conference call schedules
  • Preferred time for call
  • Current time zones of co-chairs to optimize the schedule

• Following evaluation of the existing call schedules, an initial call will be scheduled, at which, a more routine call schedule will be discussed.
• To begin development of call agendas, committees will assist in the development of a list of current and planned projects from each member committees.

Determine SD list server subscription policy - "Private" or "Open"

• Discussion on operation of the SD list server revolved around two primary options
  • 1)"private" then accept "Co-chairs in this SD Only", or
  • 2)"Open to Any Co-chairs"
• There was no extended discussion on inclusion of committee members to this list as intra-committee discussions were encouraged to continue at the committee level and escalation to the SD would be done as appropriate.
• List name: domainexperts@lists.hl7.org
  • Will be set up by the end of the WGM

Designate SD representative to Technical Editing Project Advisory Committee

• Co-chairs were encouraged to discuss participation in this group with their membership and submit names to Austin or Jim before Wednesday Sep 19, 2007.

Other Business/Issues (collected, not discussed)

• How to involve facilitators – sharing expertise and experience (training) among groups?
• Attempt to identify areas of overlap among and between SD
• Identification of high level categories of projects (common work products)
• Provide overviews of completed projects
• Develop decision making practices for SD
• Proposal to use “open document” to exchange documents within HL7
• Scheduling of SD meeting besides post-TSC to perform joint work? Postpone decision until after next working group meeting
• Provide an executive summary of SD efforts for other SDs
• SD document portals on new HL7 website?
• Where does the CIC fit in with the SD’s.
