       HL7 Terminology / Unified Terminology Governance (THO/UTG)10JB, RD
  • Main priority for UTG/THO subcommittee is review and approve implementation of the UTG Task Force Recommendations to TSC
    • Major piece is assigning appropriate people to OSG groups
    • Received pushback from Product Management groups, as a response to the feedback the subcommittee is recommending the following approach
    • Next steps
      • Move forward with plan to request that WGs provide people to be part of an OSG, with a minimum of three per OSG 
        • Based on community feedback, we will adjust to what the community can provide
      • Ask Rob M. and Peter for help recruiting for Realm-Based OSG
      • Vocab and TSMG need to review and assign voters as well
      • Put Management Groups in charge of assigning product and services OSGs, but they do not necessarily need to be co-chairs
      • Also request that WGs provide someone willing to learn this process (as an apprenticeship-like role) so that we can bring them up to speed with the help of the appropriate methodology groups
      • TSC clarification
        • Need to ask for clarification for ad hoc OSGs and how OSGs may change but membership does not automatically refresh on tickets already in Consensus Review
        • Expectations for when members of an OSG need to change
  • Resource has been dedicated to help with UTG automation
    • Determining tasks that will be assigned with input from Ted Klein and Josh Procious 
  • Started discussion on business requirements for a UTG Editor
    • UTG Editor should simplify creation and editing of THO resources through a web-based editor
    • It would be very desirable to have a process that works with Git to hide 
    • Jess to work on writing up requirements
  • Sprint 2 of UTG Jira development items with a focus on release tracking in progress
    • Reviewed current implementation of release tracking on Jira Dev
    • Testing of release tracking to occur prior to pushing to Prod
