2. (15 min) Standing Committee Reports
   1. CEO Report - Charles Jaffe provided a CEO report the previous week and no updates to that report were provided
   2. CTO Report - Quinn reported that he just returned from a two-week absence from the office and has a number of items to address in the next several days. McCaslin asked whether Quinn had had an opportunity to address the issue with the V2.5.1 ELINCS guide. Quinn will make that one of the first items of business over the next few days.
   3. Affiliates Report - Oemig indicated that there was nothing to report from the affiliates' perspective.
   4. Domain Experts - Kreisler reported that this steering division is still trying to organize their first call. Given the size of their group and the fact that several co-chairs live outside the US, they've found it challenging to find a time that is relative convenient for most participants.
   5. Foundation & Technology - Neither Singureanu nor Beeler were on the call and thus no report was provided.
   6. Structure & Semanic Design - Seppala indicated that there was nothing to report from their steering division.
   7. Technical & Support Services - McCaslin reported that their group has not met since the WGM. He has received very little feedback on the web site migration worksheet he distributed last week and will redistribute that in the next few days.
3. (5 mins) The SOA TC charter http://hssp.wikispaces.com/TC_Charter01 - Even though a representative from the Foundation & Technology steering division was not on the call, the group discussed the proposed changes to the grou's mission/charter. Kreisler reported that he did a file compare between the old and updated mission/charter and noted that the relationship with Eclipse has disappeared from the updated mission/charter. ACTION ITEM: Quinn will contact Ken Rubin, co-chair of the SOA group, to determine whether this omission was intentional. Other than that question, the TSC is comfortable with the updated mission/charter and will entertain a motion to approve on next week's call. Until the updated bylaws are approved, the missions/charters require approval by the Board.
4. (15 min) ARB composition and role - Quinn directed individuals to the slide deck that he distributed earlier: http://lists.hl7.org/read/attachment/116788/1/HL7%20ARB%20-%20some%20discussion%20points%20for%20changes.ppt.
