Minutes

Ballot reconciliation

• Lorraine: OO has ballot rec on 4 ballots happening right now and 4 calls a week.
  • 2.8 takes priority due to risk of time-out
  • Will look at adding another call, doing bulk disposition and prepping in advance
  • Need to know targets
  • May be able to distribute applying some of the changes. Grahame plans to help

Second ballot

• Device resources being significantly revamped
  • Probably not a reason to reballot
• Document/DocumentReference being revised to introduce DocumentManifest
  • Again, not a reason to reballot
• Some significant changes to wire format
  • Outstanding questions on datatype extensions and other extension issues
• We can make any changes we like after DSTU opens, but we will need an awareness of impacts and weigh that against the benefits
• Concern about making significant changes without broad review of changes to be made

• Proposed plan is:
  • When infrastructure initial reconciliation is complete (target is mid Oct.) will send out proposed reconciliations to balloters, FHIR list, co-chairs, MnM and possibly other groups for review with a 2 week response period to identify issues
  • Primary focus will be on changes, though comments may be made on rejected items too
  • FMG will review and decide whether action needs to be taken prior to DSTU publication

Change log

• Tension between degree of change happening now and ability for people to keep up
• Will aim to get trial formal change management in place - tracker, link to source control, exploration of HTML, mandatory comments on commit
• Will publish as a draft
• Will look at linkage between SVN and tracking log

Timelines

• Will aim to have infrastructure and content for mid-Nov. freeze
• Other changes may be made after freeze - prior to publication

Connectathon charging

• concern over whether that appears as "unwelcoming" to observers.
• Will be explained as follows:
  • we're trying to encourage participation because that's where true value for attendees is
  • HL7 gains benefit when people participate so we offer a discount for those who try to code

"Official" connectathons

• must be an official HL7 meeting (approved by HL7 Int'l or affiliate)
• must be approved by FMG - will look to ensure there's a feedback group

Next Steps

Actions (Include Owner, Action Item, and due date) Grahame & Paul to discuss website organization FMG & FGB to each discuss term staggering
