AntiTrust

New HL7 Antitrust Policy

The HL7 Antitrust Policy was approved as part of the last GOM revision (section 05 Antitrust compliance). The following must be added to the minutes for each meeting.

              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 s05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM)

Co-chair read policy to the Workgroup.

publication draft and the fully reconciled spreadsheet on the confluence page:

https://confluence.hl7.org/display/ATT/HL7+Attachments+Supplemental+Guide

Today:

  1. Review and vote on the “Product Brief” in the publication request (it’s a copy of what was previously published for the guide)  The URL for the meeting minutes should be in the publication request.  It also needs to go to the CDA management group.
  2. Set expectations that we’ll ask for formal publication approval for the IG at our next meeting.

Reviewed Publication Request for final vote.  Russ made a motion to publish the guide and Rachel seconded the motion.  There was discussion as to rather the guide should be an STU instead on Informative.  Alix abstained from the vote.
