Standing Committee Reports/Approvals

1. CEO Report – C. Jaffe was not on the call.
2. CTO Report - John's report was sent via email this morning. He noted tooling committee’s request for funding tooling. Board approved the funding and we’re moving forward with those approved projects. Long term we will need funding from outside HL7. McCaslin asked about the name change to SAEAF. Waiting for notification from the ArB RE the name changed
   • EA IP Update: Marc reported that major progress between Kyoto and Atlanta was to get pilot program launched. Lack of clarify as to what this really means. What SD project would be the most appropriate to apply new framework. Led webinar last week with that group to highlight the artifacts, etc. There are URLs for sample documents (NCI work) available for review. Focus calls with ArB and selected projects are scheduled to continue the work. Must have 1-2 projects formalized before the Atlanta meeting to show progress. This will also be covered in upcoming out-of-cycle meeting in Traverse City. MI. (Marc dropped off the call). Austin noted that the two SAEAF tutorials available at the WGM are for charge. These should be free and there is some question as to the content of these tutorials as the frameworks are not completed/approved.
3. ArB Report – No report as neither John Koisch nor Charlie Mead was on the call.
4. Affiliates Report – No report as Ravi was not on the call.
5. Domain Experts –
