ISO 3166 (Roel) https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html) forwards you to: Roel is reached out to ISO through NEN for a canonical URL Review by HTA pointed out that the format doesn't appear to be stable and langauge translation independent. Roel will reach back out to them. |
| Topic | HTA JIRA queue to manage requests and workflow | In Progress | Reuben | Given large number of projects required and resources for customization, all new projects will have no customization at this time. HTA has been provided a project and Reuben has been working on any customizations that are possible at this time, including sub-statuses (HTA has requested more granular sub-statuses for In Progress), but HL7 is not able to accommodate. As a work around, Reuben is adding labels to help distinguish status. To Do items: Transition of existing tickets - transfer from FHIR and UTG projects? |

Awaiting further response Nothing yet from PIC re: the Co-Chair handbook. |
