Minutes

Call to order 5:07 PM EDT

• Ron reviews agenda
• Accept draft DMP
  • 2.b and 2.d found to be duplicate
  • Adjustments to section 5
  • Motion: Woody moves acceptance as amended. Seconded by Grahame. Vote: unanimously approved.
  • Updated DMP at http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/download/docmanfileversion/7021/9776/FGB_DMP_approved20121017.doc.
• Review draft precepts and TSC discussion
  • TSC conversation recalled by Ron is on where precepts go and the role of the GOC and GOM. If product lines define precepts in isolation from one another they risk problems. It may be appropriate for product line governance precepts be submitted to GOC for manifestation in the GOM (somehow). It may be an appendix or something. GOC precepts to EC need review by the TSC.
  • GOC is a Board committee not necessarily in possession of technical background or subject matter expertise. Austin suggests the GOM may have precepts about governance of product lines rather than precepts from the individual product lines.
  • Ron will go back through the materials available so far and start precepts, not to the detail of the model from Charlie's spreadsheet risk matrices. Hope to have something for the next call.
• Discussion of the FHIR Management Group list of names for FMG candidates received so far from the Steering Divisions. These would be appointed by the TSC on recommendation of the FGB.
  • Ron adds that we would also have MnM representation - Lloyd has offered to take that role.
  • FGB chair - ex officio,
  • CTO - ex officio
  • MnM co-chair - ex officio, as one of the ad-hoc positions
  • up to two ad-hoc members as suggested.
  • one member from each SD appointed by TSC at recommendation of FGB,
    • Discussion ensued on activity with FHIR by each nominee.
    • Austin asks what the expectations of each nominee or role they play on FMB. Woody feels they would take on coordination of development activity and ensure things are percolating along in order to represent their Steering Division work groups and facilitate communication between them and the FMG.
    • Priorities for development of resources are another task notes Ron. They need to understand scope of effect. They need to be able to bring resources to bear from their Steering Division when needed. Issues of how to execute and other issues for escalation need to be brought to FMG and secondly to FGB.
    • Those that are actively developing product would potentially occupy ad-hoc positions.
  • SD Nominees:
    • John Moehrke representing FTSD
    • Hugh Glover representing DESD
    • Lorraine Constable representing SSD
    • Brian Pech for T3SD
  • Ad-hoc nominees: Jean Duteau and if willing, David Hay (Grahame will confirm by Monday )
  • Motion: Woody moves and Grahame seconds recommendation of this list to TSC. Vote: unanimously approved.
• Ron asks what we need to produce for the next WGM
  1. A working set of precepts to understand product line behavior
  2. priority list for resource development
  3. operating principles defined for FMG
  4. Grahame notes a version of XDS with IHE, RESTful access to DICOM as well as interest in the ISO community are some of the cross-SDO efforts underway. Accountability and governance challenges in these relationships might be addressed. Some description needed of the nature of interaction with external organizations on their consumption and execution.
• Grahame reports an issue had been raised on the appropriateness of the BLOG as a part of the official record of product development. After discussion, there seemed to be consensus among the group that open dialog about the evolution of FHIR resources was appropriate for the BLOG, with the provision that governance or management decisions that may arise on the BLOG will be officially raised and recorded in the appropriate groups using the official Wiki. These groups would include TSC, FGB, and FMC, and any issues that affect other WGs would be channeled to them by Steering Division reps on FMC and those dicussions and resolutions duly recorded as appropriate in their official sites.
