Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:
Call to order 1:05 PM EST

• Agenda review and approval - Austin Kreisler
• Agenda planning for Phoenix - Austin Kreisler
• Action items
  • Scott needs to confirm liaisons with SDOs for ORC and so will solicit any information they wish to alert HL7 membership of while Lynn and Karen are collecting liaison reports.
  • Austin will discuss with the Board on sharing an update on the IP model development - have heard nothing back. We should look at other alternatives. What about IP policies for the other SDOs? We'd still need representation from HL7's side - Austin will raise again on next week's Board call.
• Product Lines/product families work would be a topic for presentation by ArB.
• HingX presentation by Jane Curry is another option.
• Process changes due to ANSI audit is another potential topic if we know what those changes are by the WGM. Austin reports we are going back through old projects and cleaning up. Some old projects have been abandoned and never cleaned up. One likely process change is to actively prune dead wood more quickly, in tightening up processes around projects that are not making progress. Lisa reports that it is the same marching order with ISO.
  • One point of clarification recently advanced is that work groups don't have to take informative or DSTU stuff back to ballot after a successful ballot and reconciliation even with substantive changes. Lisa sees that happening across SDOs. Shutting down projects must avoid sending a message that 'we don't want you to work on that' and in a volunteer organization risks participation altogether.
  • Rita echoes Lisa's interest in how organizations are prioritizing work between SDOs, and Lisa would add ISO's work on eliminating stages (e.g. CD). Would be good to hear what national standards bodies are prioritizing from the Affiliates.
  • Theme on how organizations are prioritizing their work, internally and cross-SDO. Austin recalls HL7's "mushroom" approach. Without strategic resources behind our strategic initiatives, funding development progress, we get what members think they should work on.
• For next meeting let's figure out who will present on this topic from which organizations. ISO (Lisa), IHE (Austin will check with Keith for suggestions), CEN, NCPDP (Scott), Lisa to reach out to Becky, others? John notes that OACIS folks are visiting PHER at the meeting. He'll reach out to them but John Quinn has been their primary contact on some joint work.
• Work with the mushroom analogy in the title. Organic and bottom-up. The alternate to that analogy is a crisply designed skyscraper. Agricultural analogy, from taking whatever pops up, is Holland's highly mechanized farming. Mushroom management not a good alternate by John, as compared to volunteer tomatoes.
• Austin recaps theme: How SDOs go about prioritizing work, both internal and cross-SDO work.

Scott can't make this time in two weeks. Meet one hour earlier instead.

Adjourned 1:29 PM EST
