HL7 WGs are required to present the HL7 Code of Conduct & the HL7 Antitrust Statement at the beginning of each meeting:

HL7 Antitrust Policy: 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).

HSSWG calls are recorded per WG approval during December 16, 2021 conference call unless an objection is sustained.

Proposed Interim Co-Chair Slate

  • Chris Shawn
  • Grey Faulkenberry
  • Mohammad Jafari
  • Liz Oppenheim 
  • Lizz Olson
  • Interim co-chairs will be voted on today and their term, if approved, will be from now until Dec 31, 2022.
  • Permanent co-chairs will have to be elected through the HL7 formal balloting process which takes place in Jun/Jul. Since the HSS WG is new, we should stagger the permanent co-chair vote so 2-3 of the interim co-chairs should run for a 1-year term and the remaining will run for a 2-year term.
  • Requirements for co-chair include being an active member of HL7 and attend 2 of the 3 WGMs each year.
    • Chris confirmed the requirements for Grey, Mohammad, and Liz Oppenheim.
    • Lizz Olson said that she believes she's an HL7 member but would confirm.
    • Chris will stay appraised of potential updates in the requirements for co-chair.

Motion: Gay Dolin makes a motion to approve the slate of the five proposed interim co-chairs; motion seconded by Kenneth Salyards
