Agenda

Tutorials

• SAIF Webinar
  • draft tutorial specifications reviewed by ARB
  • expecting recording to be done in December
• UML
  • we have all material from JD
  • evaluate after the January WGM
• Request from Security WG to add their "free" tutorial to the Tutorial Grid for May 2014
  • Mary Ann will send tutorial specification and determine requirement
• Request from US Domain task force to create an SDO Class for Government Contractors (Keith Boone)
  • The class would describe standards development practices of SDO's and how contractors can better engage with SDOs. While we would certainly focus a good portion of content on engagement with HL7, we have other SDO constituencies within HL7 (CDISC, DICOM and IHE) that can add to the material making it even more valuable.
  • If there is enough interest during the call in developing such a course, we could begin a Project Scope statement are start developing the material for delivery perhaps in May.

Action:  Melva to send back to Keith - if they believe there is enough interest - develop PSS and Tutorial Specification and submit for approval
