Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

Sunday Q1

• Call to order
  • Called to order at 9:15am U.S. EDT.
• Approval of Agenda for quarter
  • Approved by affirmation.
• Approval of agenda for WGM
  • Approved by affirmation.
• Approval of Minutes
  • Approved by affirmation.
• Update from TSC (Ron/Charlie) (30-45 minutes)
  • Reviewed Roadmap - committe renamed to Strategic Initiatives Committee
  • Publishing facilitator will coordinate our Glossary work with Publications
  • Concern was raised that many of the HL7 leaders are consultants
  • Jane Curry agreed to be publishing facilitator
    • Discussion was held on what level the glossary should exist, as well as other HL7 content. Publishing/Tooling long term goal is to not only create a single ballot package, as well as custom view package - where all the links work.
    • We need a business process as well as a set of tools to make it real. Some people recognize the need, some do not.
    • There is a number of people who just want to get their job done, and not be concerned about the enterprise.
  • Tutorials need some form of validation
    • e.G. Security COnsiderations Cookbook is tutorial with very "Authoritative" language

MOTION: Approve Jane Curry as Publishing Facilitator: Unanimous

• • Arb to ensure the definition of what constitutes "Substantive change" is done
    • Woody suggested we delegate and include more than one other WG (MnM + ??)
    • Should include versioning/sunsetting issue as well.
    • Was a role of the old ARB.
    • Ended up clarifying rules to prevent ARB from being court of appeals for Substantive Change.
    • Original document defined substantive change as anything that breaks wire format
    • With the advent of V3 xml change in wire format was not necessarily substantive.
    • Grahame Grieve: Arb should specify a statement of value - what is substantive change at the highest level. Then create a task force to generate rules for a specific specification set.
    • John Koisch: Each specification could provide it's own substantive change rules.

Grahame's Definition: Substantive change is any change in a specification that causes changes to conformant implementations, except in as much the implementation leverages technical publication artifacts directly.

• • Replace Services with Service (change plural to singular).
    • MOTION: Change the S in SAIF to singular. Unanimous approval
  • SAIF transition from ALPHA to BETA+
    • Calvin Beebe's presentation on application of governance.
    • Suggested that we pick a probblem, apply SAIF end-to-end, and refine:
      • Governance
      • Implementation Guide
      • Methodology
    • Charlie Mead will discuss experience at NCI with TSC - around four/five points:

1. Value propositon
2. Have a clearly defined scope to apply SAIF
3. Come to terms with defining artifacts and meta-data
4. Governance must recognize that you cant govern everything - look at the life cycle, and the risk of not governing certain aspects.
5. There must be a notion of change management recognition.

• • • We need an architecture informed by SAIF
    • What are the working elements of SAIF that apply regardless of messaging, documents, and service metaphors and determine how to govern "that"

• • Set direction for the week.
  • Arb Membership Criteria Review
  • SAIF Glossary Review

Sunday Q2
