  8. ArB Report – Charlie Mead
    • Both Ron and Charlie have been swamped with day job and have not had a meeting since Rio. In Rio went through all comments, categorized and sorted. Working on strategy. ECCF commebnts straightforward and Charlie working on those. BF has comments both technical and religuious and they’re working on dealing with those. NCI pushing very hard on implementation of SAIF and particulary ECCF, which will inform HL7 implementation of ECCF. NCI is close to officially stating they will base semantic infrastructure on RIM as of last week’s St. Louis meeting. Version anticipated around July 1 may be ready to flow into HL7 work. GF and IF still anticipated. NCI has hired Cecil Lynch to work on those pieces for NCI; may have IF by next week. They will try to get it into peer review as quickly as possible. GF work being done by Charlie and will require work to make appropriate for HL7 as his version for NCI is only regarding services.
    • Charlie McCay asks how are we doing with planning and expectation setting as discussed at the WGMs. Communication plan is on the radar, notes Charlie Mead. They want some candidate documentation available for the entire framework. Charlie Mead met with Implementation and Conformance WG to take over Implementation Guide for ECCF, which is headed in that direction.
