• RE GOM Change vote - Kathleen asked that the WG confirm a changed recommendation to support the revision to required deviations from standard Decision Making Practice to be sent through TSC as this may be more efficient given regular updates to the DMP standards to which all WGs must resubmit their changes, even if only adopting new update. WG agreed to modification of previous comments. Kathleen to submit to HQ on WG's behalf.
• RE: FHIR Security call report out - John wants to know who will attend in order to decide whether to hold the call since most CRs for the upcoming For Comment ballot have been resolved. Kathleen to let him know.
• Meeting adjourned.

Meeting Materials

RE GOM Change vote recommendations:

• Changed Recommendation - Vote to approve WI1709004 Variations from standard DMP - Proposal to stipulate that deviations from the standard/common DMP shall be approved by the TSC. During FM discussion, Mary Kay and Andy Stechishin pointed out that whenever a WG’s DMP changes, they have to be approved by the WG’s Steering Division. So whenever the standard DMP has been updated, all the WGs have to make changes to their DMPs, and have them approved. The proposed change would eliminate the need for WGs who simply adopt the current standard DMPs to have them approved. Only those WGs whose DMPs vary from an update to the standard DMP would need approval by TSC, rather than their Steering Divisions, going forward. This would lower administrative overhead.
• Vote negative on WI1709002 Non-member participation in User Groups - Implementation of EC decision to limit non-member participation to one-year. Need rationale for what appears to be a barrier to participation. Note, this pertains to User Groups, not Work Groups.
• Vote to approve WI1709003 Revise resolution of motions by email - Proposal from the CTO to allow submission of email vote on electronic motion (§06.06) to either the list or directly to the Secretary.
• Vote to approve WI1709004 Variations from standard DMP - Proposal to stipulate that deviations from the standard/common DMP shall be approved by the TSC.
• Vote to approve WI1709005 Electronic voting for WG co-chair elections - Implementation of electronic voting for WG co-chair elections piloted at September WGM
• Vote to approve WI1709006 Revise Contract Work process - Implementation of revisions to Contract Work process prepared by EC task force.
