- See discussion topic below
- Paul to contact Vocab/PA re: approval items balloting at STU in FHIR R3
- Discussion Topics
- Preponderance of influence issue/CDAMG reappointments
- MOTION that, assuming there are no preponderance of influence issues, we recommend that TSC reappoint the three CDAMG members expiring this year: Wayne/Austin
- VOTE: All in favor
- ACTION: Wayne to compare against the preponderance of influence reporting system
- Balloted vs. non-balloted feedback in FHIR - prioritization of tracker items vs. ballot items in relation to business goals (from TSC)
- The issue: When it comes to ballots, you either have to be a member or have purchased the right to ballot. However, we allow anyone to comment in the tracking system. Depending on what guidance we give to committees, a non-member submitting to tracker could have more influence than members. This has a variety of impacts on the organization. Wayne: The other problem is we have no formal process or policy on this. Paul: We don’t want to stop people from contributing, but is there a qualitative difference between ballots and comments and how we should address them?
- Calvin: We should enumerate the perspectives and decide who is responsible for making the value judgements. Wayne: TSC and SGB should be better about presenting critical issues to the board that we need board input on. Discussion over too much administrative work at TSC and the burdensome approval processes that prevent TSC from tackling some of these issues.
- For next week: Figure out issues and risks from different perspectives
- Compare Project Life Cycle for Product Development (PLCPD) to the SGB-developed Product Life Cycle document
- Austin reviewed document. Austin notes that the document covers the life cycle of a project, not a product. They recently refreshed the document to include newer things like management groups. Discussion over general awareness of this document. Calvin asks if this is a current state spec? As the organization continues to evolve the document will need to be updated. Concerned about keeping it current with the amount of change we’re going through. Are people using this? Seems to be a reference document and nothing else because the TSC hasn’t said it’s mandatory to follow it. Calvin has concerns over how to tweak it when it needs to be updated. Should send back to Project Services for them to consider what they want to do with it – hasn’t been brought to the TSC for action. Calvin: How do you change this when things change? Can people submit change requests? What if someone follows this and it’s wrong? What is the publication strategy? Are they seeking any level of enforcement? Perhaps it’s just a living document within their committee space. What is the intent of the document? Should we formalize it?
- Austin: If we change the life cycle of a product, this document has to react to that. As we create precepts, they should be aware that the precepts may impact their document. The project moves a product through the life cycle of a standard.
- ACTION: Group review document and add to agenda for 2018-11-14 call

- Carry forward
- SGB Communication Plan
