Minutes

  • Discussion held without quorum.
  • Reviewed action items
    • FGB elevator pitch, communications of what it is, and its intended timelines.
    • FHIR use of ISO datatypes - methodology issue; need to discuss with Grahame. Need to reach out to him from FGB for statement of conformance and framework to policy for use of ISO datatypes. Grahame's participation on governance board discussed. Need Woody, Grahame, Ron, and Austin/John to be on a call - Ron will schedule.
    • Will get back to precepts and risks.
    • Ron needs to discuss with John on how to make the FGB a part of the organization to organization relationships on FHIR. Ron will follow up with John to establish such a protocol.
  • Precept definition should include conformity assessments, along with other processes such as appeal processes. Remove these standing items from agenda - add to action item. Escalation responsibility is on the group and not to the appellant. Need to start evolving policy. FMG seems to be establishing policy on the fly, where they should be establishing process. What's in, what's out, etc are execution of governance policy. Set agenda on Friday meeting at WGM to tease out the policy statements behind the execution decisions. Escalation of awareness of decisions made on the fly by FMG for review by FGB discussed. Policy statements and premises for action as next steps after balloting also need discussion. Brian adds that the FMG status as 'working group' needs to be resolved. BAM work has started to build a home but needs better structure - need a BAM-lite to document something and create that framework. Ron will bring this to ArB. SDWG corollary would make a good example to tease out governance, management, and methodology activities.
  • FGB communication with FMG should mine the last FMG minutes for relevant decision items on which policy statements need to be derived. Perhaps Thursdays Ron and Lynn can review and add to FGB agendas.
  • FGB membership - quorum difficulties. Consider including broader perspectives with industry concerns. Good governance gives stakeholders confidence that the processes are conducted with balance to the community.
  • Precept for FGB on the composition and criteria of the FMG.

Disconnected at 8:40 AM.
