117		2.A	2.A.75	79		A-Q	String data is left justified (i.e., no leading blank space) with trailing blanks optional.		What does "optional" mean in this context? Are trailing blanks significant, or can applications freely trim those off without changing the meaning of a message? Is it supposed to be consistent with TX in which trailing spaces should be removed?	InM-6	Persuasive with mod	Clarify Optional , add guidance to include /x20/ when you need to send only a blank.
124	Pub	2.A				NEG		CWE.2 - Descriptive Text is never required, but is recommended to be populated with either a text human-readable string published by the code system publisher from which the code in CWE.1 is drawn, or some other string which conveys a “reasonably synonymous” meaning with the semantics of the code. This may be a site or user defined string rather than one published with the code system, or may be one that is specified in an Implementation Guide; there are no hard and fast rules dictating its use.

118		2.A	2.A.75	79		A-T	Any displayable (printable) ACSII characters (hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or ASCII decimal values between 32 and 126), except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters.	Any displayable (printable) ASCII characters (hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or ASCII decimal values between 32 and 126), except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters, are allowed.	This is a sentence fragment which contains no verb, and "ASCII" is misspelled.	InM-6	persuasive
119		2.A	2.A.75	79		NEG	Any displayable (printable) ACSII characters (hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or ASCII decimal values between 32 and 126), except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters.	Any displayable (printable) characters are allowed based on the character set identified in MSH-18. For the default ASCII characters set this is hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or decimal values between 32 and 126, except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters. For Unicode this is any code point with a Basic Type of Graphic; see The Unicode Standard section 2.4 <http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode9.0.0/ch02.pdf> for details.	ST values should no longer be limited to ASCII characters now that MSH-18 supports other character sets such as UNICODE UTF-8.	InM-7	Persuasive

125	Pub	2.A	2.a.13.5Value Set OID			NEG			The text reads in such a way that all CWE fields must be bound to an HL7 Table with a number; this is not true when OBX-5 is used to carry CWE type result values, and the value set OID is a non-HL7 value set. Thus the Meaningful Use guides are non-compliant to the usage defined in this paragraph. Must be fixed.		Pending Input from Submitter	Please provide wording

3	Pub	2C				NEG			Unfortunately, the instructions to the ballot reviewers were not included for Ch. 2C. Since the chapter is now automatically generated and has new format this lack of guidance places an undue burden on reviewers to guess at what is being requested from them. I would suggest re-balloting with the guidance included.
14		2C	Table 0206	153		NEG	"where usedCH2, RXA-21, RXV-22, LCH-2, IAM-6, ARV-2, IN1-55"		Table 0206 is now used in ORC-35		Persuasive with Mod
15		2C	Table 0950			NEG			This table is missing - is new for 2.9 - from chapter 4 - section 10.2.1.25 (for ORC-25)		Persuasive
16		2C	Table 0949			NEG			This table is missing - is new for 2.9 - from chapter 4 - section 10.2.1.16 (for ORC-16)		Persuasive
26	Pub	2C	Introduction	1	n/a	NEG			Not all readers will understand the difference between a Code System and a Value Set. The introduction should contain a discussion of these two concepts and how to use them and the data contained in the various tables in this chapter. Otherwise, people will misuse names and OIDs because they don't understand the difference. If HL7's approach to vocabulary is documented elsewhere, then a URL reference would be sufficient
67		2C	All			NEG			Suggest that the Effective Date uses HL7's DT format YYYYMMDD to avoid any confusion of what, e.g., 04.05.2000 may mean.
122	Pub	2C				NEG		The header information, explanation of new format, and table of contents is missing from the chapter. Seems like a possible editorial issue when the ballot was put together.
150	Vocab	2C				NEG	No change log provided		"The entire layout of this chapter got re-done and an introduction about that may be good to have in the final standard, but if not there at least for the balloters to look at that as well as a list of changes approved via harmonization should be called out in the front of the chapter during ballot - this will make folks more aware of the requirement to send changes to harmonization as well as highlight what specifically should be reviewed chapter 2C also has no page numbers, no header or footers"
