    • RD:  this is the intended purpose for the CodeSystem / ValueSet can be linked to corresponding naming system established by the code system: url value is equivalent to the preferred url in the name - so they should
    • RD:  is Lloyd going to provide a link to the naming system?
      • JB: need to establish this as policy before he should go do this
    • RD:  will discuss this with Grahame to understand what his position is
