View source for ArB Ballot Quality Criteria

{{Arb Done Item}}
= Introduction =

This is the working page for the ArB Project
to develop quality criteria for assessing whether
proposed ballot content is suitable for actual
publication.

It is not the task of the ArB to actually review
content or decide whether it may be published, though
the ArB may get involved in the determination of 
whether content is suitable. There is a group of 
volunteers who will perform this review, but the main
intent is that committees will use these criteria 
internally when preparing content. The ArB will act as
the arbiter for unresolveable issues dealing with these
criteria that emerge through the ballot process.

* Responsible committee clearly identified
* Ballot notes explain current ballot status
* authors and acknowledgements per pubs guidelines
* Scope and Position within HL7 clearly defined at start

== Ballot Cycle ==

* Where the document is in the ballot cycle and future committee intent are both clearly identified
* Summary of outcome of previous ballot is provided (if appropriate)
* Summary of known open ballot issues is provided

== Project ==

* The scope of the ballot matches the scope of the project, or differences are clearly explained

== Coherency ==

* There is no internal broken links within the ballot (Tool!)
* Domains
** there is a DMIM, a reference to some other DMIM
**
