     • looking for feedback; not received any on the list
     • what are we looking for these projects to be.
     • Ed suggests we’d be looking for process considerations along with the projects, who to get an answer from, how to progress, before- rather than after-the fact.
     • Need to identify the artifacts they need to deliver.
     • What would be in a 'rule book' for guidance of an alpha project in the next 12 months.
     • Marc and Lynn to update draft based on ArB feedback and anything else that comes in on the listserv.
   • CTS2 review as Alpha Project
     • Candidate coming forward yesterday. Suggested to them that they should look at the draft candidate document to see if it ‘fits’.
     • No one on the call familiar with it, will ask them to draft a project statement to bring forward on an upcoming call.
   • List of core and supporting functions, product and service items for matrix for decision points
     • Review product matrix from Lynn, categorizing along the stairway to heaven with the SAEAF.
     • Lloyd suggested categories -
       • Health Information Exchange standards: Messaging, Documents, Services, CCOW –
       • Health Information Knowledge Representation Standards: Arden, GELLO
       • Modeling Standards: RIM
       • Application Functional Specifications: EHR, PHR
     • ACTION ITEM: Lynn to send SAEAF links, ppt and new slide decks to the list
     • ACTION ITEM: Advisory Group review alpha project considerations
   • Still feeling a disconnect on whether the SAEAF to be balloted as a review process going forward. Suggest that it be balloted as informative to allow for consensus review, not towards creating a specification like a message. Need to clarify on alpha project consideration document.
5. Next Steps
   • Create/review list of existing products
   • Mapping existing products into SAEAF layers
   • Gap analysis of SAEAF components without representation of products; identify new artifacts to be surfaced by gap analysis
   • Identify list of defining documents
   • Identify list of organizational bodies
   • Document current process used to move documents through org bodies.
   • Identify changes to the process under the new EA
   • Talk an existing product through the process
   • Talk a new product (alpha project) through the process, e.g. review CTS2
