Description
The Notice of Intent to Ballot (NIB) is the document needed to formally declare that your FHIR Implementation Guide will be balloted (the process by which the wider community review of the IG is gathered) in a given cycle. This is a key part of the HL7 standards process.
The NIB must be completed and submitted by a Co-Chair from the sponsoring Work Group.
