   1. Roll Call - The following individuals joined the call: Ken McCaslin, Austin Kreisler, Calvin Beebe, Woody Beeler, John Koisch, Chuck Meyer, Ioana Singureanu, Charlie McCay, Karen Van Hentenryck, Ravi Natarajan
   2. Accept Agenda - Meyer would like follow up on the GOM Work Item for vendor demonstrations that was send along last week.
   3. Approve Minutes from concall-20080929 - Minutes approved unanimously.
2. (20 min) Standing Committee Reports/Approvals
   1. CEO Report - No report was provided
   2. CTO Report - No report was provided
   3. ArB Report - John Koisch reported that the SOA group is doing a harmonization of the SAEAF document this week. Please see the ArB wiki site for additional information
   4. Affiliates Report - Nothing to report
   5. Domain Experts -
      • MOTION by SD: To approve the project scope statement for Lab CMET project [1]Motion passed unanimously.
      • More projects are being reviewed by the SD and going through the eVoting process. The Steering Division is dragging their feet on voting so some project may not go to ballot. McCay asked if voting on projects at the SD level is effective. Kresiler responded that he does feel it is effective. Singureanu asked how many votes are being waited for. Kreisler responded that they are waiting on about 5 votes. Is there something that the TSC can to speed this up. They might do exception voting (if you don't registered a negative vote, it is construed as an affirmative vote). Kreisler feels that the problem of the Steering Division is likely problematic.
   6. Foundation & Technology - MOTION: The TSC will set up a tracker and make it available to SDs to collect and manage SAEAF review comments. The ArB members will use this tracker to manage and resolve any SAEAF comments received through this mechanism. (alternative motion would have the tracker hosted on the ArB project in HL7 Project Homebase). Discussion: Koisch doesn't think it is realistic for the current comments to make their way into the tracker. He would rather spend the time getting the issues resolved. Singureanu volunteered to manage the tracker. Sinureanu feels the tracker makes the comments and their dispositions public. She is happy to withdraw the motion if there is a location where people can go to see the comments. Koisch noted that the intent is to make things available on the wiki site. ACTION ITEM: ArB will discuss the need for a publically available and visible place to post and disposition comments and propose a solution. Ravi also noted that anyone posting comments on GForge needs a username/password.
   7. Structure & Semantic Design - Nothing to report.
   8. Technical & Support Services -
      • MOTION by SD: To approve the WG Documents Location project scope [2] - McCaslin noted this is the project to make changes to web page to show where WGs minutes etc are being posted. ACTION ITEM: McCaslin will post this project scope to the cochairs listserv. At Jan 2009 Tooling will host ESC and Project Svcs with goal of recommending which tools should be used. Meeting will occur on Thurs Q1.
3. (30 min) Discussion topics
   • Enterprise Architecture roll out project - McCay reported that he is still trying to make contact with Mark Kohn who we hope will lead that project. That project should provide context on making sure we get comments on SAEAF document and implementing the project. Hoping for projects fairly quickly. The goal is to get project scope in place to accomplish work on this at the WGM Wed Q3-Q4 meeting. ACTION ITEM: Singureanu will assist with this project. McCay spoke with Ken Rubin and SOA WG is starting to think about the what the implementation impact might be for them and document them in a paper. Other committees may wish to do the same before the Jan 2009 WGM.
   • RCRIM and BRIDG DAM - McCay noted that this topic has emerged in Vancouver and been bubbling ever since. Can a committee require that a model be required for all work of the WG. Singureanu noted that if projects within a WG are disjointed, having a consolidated analysis model may not be useful.

Meeting adjourned at 11:50 am ET.
