Antitrust statement
Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 meetings and conferences, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust Policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM).

and its subtasks
Continuing to fill OSG voter slots
FMG: John Moerke
Bryn following up
CMG: Lisa Nelson, Alexander Henket, Marc Duteau
V2: Michael Faughn, Frank Oemig, Rob Snelick
Will continue to follow-up on filling Realm-based and Vocab OSGs
THO release schedule
Need input from TSC/HQ and they have requested some information from TSMG on documentation and level of effort
Info sent to Rob and Bryn who will follow up with TSC
Vocab suggests that TSMG require all code systems to have a Steward
UTG submitters would need to get WG approval from the Steward to propose changes to the code system
Discussed on main TSMG call but no one wanted to make a motion to make this a policy
Steward definition
The WG responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the code system (not to be confused with Publisher who makes the content available)
This implies that the WG has the domain expertise/knowledge related to the code system
The primary point of contact for questions or issues with the code system
FYI: Vocab added an extension for steward, there is a proposal to update the definition of publisher (which was intended to represent steward) and remove the extension
Might be a good idea to get a count of how many code systems in THO do not have a steward value
Michael Faughn performed analysis on the number of code systems without a Steward value
Out of 797 code systems, 236 do not have a Steward value
Code systems broken out by product family:
38 V2, 147 V3, 47 FHIR, 3 unified
Current TSMG solution is to make corresponding Management Group responsible (by either having them assign the WG responsible or by assigning them to the MG itself)
In the FHIR space, it could be the resource owner
V2 - make the V2 management group responsible
V3 - will be a multi-management group exercise. CMG will take a look at the V3 sets first. FMG will take a look at the list next to determine which is the appropriate responsible party.
Austin is reviewed the list and found 3 code systems appropriate to assign to Structured Docs
Should consider having other WGs look over the list (MnM, OO)
Vocab WG to run a query for each code system across FHIR core to identify the resources and their responsible WG(s) for each listed code system.
Rob Hausam will check with Lloyd and whether and how we can do this.
Will bring this back for the Vocab call in 2 weeks.
