Logistics Questions
  1. Is this the best meeting time?
    • Assuming this is true 
    • Could also sequence calls to different slots to accommodate international time zones
    • WG discussions should happen MORE FREQUENTLY than the weekly calls
  2. Add formal structure to the WG per the HSPC bylaws or organizational rules?
    • (Oscar) Need to have some guiding principles to help guide discussions
      • WG chair represented on the WG Steering Committee
    • QUESTION:  How do you elect WG Chairs?  Nominations?  Appointees?  Selection process?
      • (Craig) Based on HL7 ... most WG's have co-chairs, to help ensure smooth operations and to share the work load
  3. Wiki Usage
  4. Slack

Work Program Discussion
  1. Leveraging SOA implementations in healthcare
    • Canada, Australia, others - including company internal

    • (Davide) Please invite any other SME's who should be participating in these meetings!
