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.
