4. Correct minutes template versus upload reference
   • From discussion of Online Presence Project
     • 3.11.2 - Ensure that Meeting Minutes are taken; Minutes can vary widely in their depth of coverage. They should use the meeting minutes templates (http://www.hl7.org/permalink/?UploadMinutes). Note: permalink is for minutes upload, not minutes templates. Minutes template permalink is http://www.hl7.org/permalink/?MinutesTemplate.
     • This template is just that—an empty file (no words) with the appropriate styles for use with meeting minutes. A style guide is included in the zip file noted above to assist co-chairs with the look/feel of meeting minutes. Note: zip file is not noted above, but in Appendix A. Minutes template permalink is http://www.hl7.org/permalink/?MinutesTemplate.

5. Update reference to minutes posting from WGM versus conference calls
   • From discussion of Online Presence Project
     • 5.5 Decisions at Working Group Meetings: Decisions made at WG meetings are recorded in meeting minutes and posted. Minutes are recorded and posted for all WG meetings including the date, time, and location of the meeting, a list of attendees, the intended agenda, a brief summary of discussion topics, and the outcome of proposals made (including vote tallies if votes were taken). Minutes from a working group meeting will be posted no later than 2 weeks after the last day of the conference and in compliance with HQ deadlines; minutes from a conference call will be posted within one week of the call. Note: 5.6 describes Decisions at non-Working Group Meetings, where timing of upload for conference call minutes might be more accurately placed.

6. Provide stronger recommendation and rationale on posting minutes to HL7 web site, or to a location linked from the Work Group web page for WGM and conference calls (updated llaakso 12:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC) due to change by ES WG)
   • From discussion of Online Presence Project, and 2010-01-05_Online_Presence_Call_Minutes
     • 3.9.2 instead of referencing the utility, add ‘or your minutes web page' where it can be uploaded directly.
     • Under 3.11.2 regarding point 2 on Worded motions, suggest a change that allows motions for ballot reconciliation can be included in 5 (electronic copies of work products) instead of 2.
     • Should use the HL7 standard language; instead of “PIC recommends”, we say Work Groups “shall” post minutes, agendas, and action items. The handboook should include link to the verbiage definitions as well, for the co-chairs' reference. Wholesale revision change for modal verb language could be considered for next update.
     • If quorum is not reached please file a document that indicates that quorum was not met.
     • Rationale:
       • shall be in a location where they are not changeable by others;
       • shall be in a location where non-regular participants can find them (consistent place between all work groups);
       • minutes are the official documentation of the activities of HL7 and ANSI audit processes will need to have access to them, a formal location.
