Management

1. Review action items –
   • Jean will establish and schedule the ANSI/GOM Review Task force, with Freida, Pat and Calvin - Doodle poll results? Austin asks if anyone else is able to step up to do it? If not, Austin will try to get it kicked off.
   • Austin and Woody will draft language for a recommendation on consideration of HTTP compliance to US conformance criteria on EHRs for character set display. There is a project underway in EHR that may involve this. Woody expresses his uncertainty with the US conformance criteria but can make a statement on where we are, today.

     • Work Group Dissolution Request for Child Health of DESD, with update from seven members committing to join the WG and keep it solvent. See TSC Tracker # 2577 - the WG is seeking to have the TSC vote to reject the motion.
     • Motion: Mead moves and Andy seconds the rejection of the dissolution. Vote: unanimously approved.
3. Discussion topics:

   • Atlanta Draft Agenda Topics:
