INM will hold an out-of-cycle meeting (the board has approved it) related to Transmission and Transports in San Antonio immediately prior to the WGM.

Dates: Saturday May 6 Q1-Q4, and Sunday May 7 Q1 & Q2. Location: The WGM conference hotel. The meeting room has a 35-person capacity.

Topics

Our intent is to do mini-harmonization for the Transmission and Transport domains, and in addition, to find solutions for some of the festering issues that exist in the overlapping areas between these areas. These issues are long running issuesthat do not fit well into the ballot process, and we have been struggling to find time or a process to give them any substantial consideration.

There is a large number of outstanding issues. Generally,there is a scope question relating the concept of interactions, transmissions, transports, how they inter-relate with each other, and how the historical HL7 approach relates to approaches taken in other industries or by other standards bodies (note that we use these other standards for actual transport).

See below for an agenda; also see the list of confirmed attendees.

Agenda (Draft)

The agenda for Saturday Q4 and Sunday Q1/Q2 will be determined by "triaging" the open issues list at the start of the Saturday Q4 meeting. Discussions during SAT Q1-Q3 will be timeboxed to allow a number of issues to be discussed. Motions may be made by partcipants once consensus has been reached on an issue.

If consensus can't be reached within the alloted timneframe, participants may be asked to create a proposal during Saturday evening to be voted upon on Sunday, or the issue may be deffered from Saturday until Sunday. The aim is to reach consensus on fundemantal open issues, or at least to get a sense of direction by means of a strawvote.

      • Topic: make ControlAct.id mandatory, use to link responses at the business process level.

      • Topic: overlapping functionality between HL7 & the transport protocol (e.g. reliability, commit ack, sequence number protocol)

      • Topic: (after SOA discussions) It has been suggested by proponents of SOA architectures that the current Transmission Wrapper contains classes and attributes which are not related to Transmission. Where should these be moved to?
