February 23, 20176

Attendees: Ted (chair), Carmela, Rob Hausam, Frank Oemig call began at 3:35PM ET after quorum reached

Agenda:

1. Review of Status
   1. PSS is in the process of being approved by TSC
   2. Document is at version 6 right now
2. New schedule for calls discussion
   1. Some key folks such as Lloyd cannot make it at this time, which also conflicts with much upcoming travel for Ted. New day/time proposed: every other Tuesday 13:00ET or 15:00ET. beginning next Tuesday 2/28/2017

• We discussed the time change, there are many HL7 calls on Tuesdays as well. If we had this call at 13:00 ET, it could only be 1 hour, since the binding semantics call is at 14:00. But Lloyd and Frank would have a conflict if the call ran longer than 1 hour, as there are other calls at 16:00 ET on Tuesdays.
• We agreed that we would try next Tuesday every other week 13:00 ET for one hour duration.
• If this doesn't work, we'll move it again.
