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).

      • Unsure of the process required now that TSMG is newly formed since the last release 
      • Current process models how we track other IGs

      • To be discussed later: Is THO an IG? It is not a FHIR IG
      • Need approval by Friday 2/25 at the very latest
      • Clarified that in TSMG charter, TSMG has the authority to approve publications of THO
      • Fields needed for release
        • Publication request 
        • TSC approval (link to TSMG approval)
      • Next steps: Create publication request and vote on it tomorrow during TSMG's main call
  • Sprint 2 of UTG Jira development items is in progress, focusing on release tracking
    • Still need to carve out time to work on this, but made progress on updating descriptions for each state in the UP project

    • Josh working with Lawrence to get him started, need to follow up
    • Dan to double-check agreement with Lawrence

Subcommittee Work in Progress40JB
  • THO release schedule
    • Need input from TSC/HQ
    • No policy for announcing freeze/release
      • Ted suggests that the announcement goes on the HL7 website
      • Dan suggests adding it to the HL7 calendar: HL7 Calendars as well as announce via Zulip (which thread?)
      • Lynn posts the announcements of publications in the Announcements stream under New Publication.  THO publications could be announced in zulip there. Or maybe under a new topic of New terminology.hl7.org Publication.
  • Issues raised during THO release
    • No governance policy for <caseSensitive>, suggest discussing on HTA call
      • On discussion on terminology services, if a code system does not identify if codes are case sensitive or not then servers cannot validate correctly
      • Also helps curator by not cluttering with warnings
      • Many affected are retired
      • INFO should be thrown for external code systems, WARNINGS for HL7 code systems
      • What about code systems with content "not-present"?
      • No way for publisher to know whether or not to throw the warning
      • Could ask Grahame to not throw warnings for these as well, based on url being terminology.hl7.org
    • Cleanup of issues/warnings currently being suppressed: see http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/UTG/qa.html
      • For active V2, work with TSC to have V2 MG fix V2 issues in THO
      • There are a few in V3
      • For external code systems, work with HTA
        • Short term - set to true
        • Medium term - investigate if they are case sensitive for future releases
        • Retired - will not go back and fix
      • Will discuss on main TSMG call and likely HTA
      • Goal for 4.0.0 may be to make it absolutely clean
  • Workflow process for use of internal code system identifiers in FHIR and beyond (DID NOT DISCUSS)
  • Task force recommendation review and implementation (voting, quorums, WG health, etc.): UTG Task Force Recommendations to TSC (DID NOT DISCUSS)

        • Draft email provided to TSMG Outreach Subcommittee for review
        • Lisa provided feedback that even after relaxing requirements there just aren't enough people to do the work, although it is important
        • Perhaps the new implementation division should be involved in this issue
      • Ask Rob and Peter for help recruiting for Realm-Based OSG
      • Ask TSMG main call for Vocab/TSMG members for the Vocab OSG
      • TSC clarification
        • Need to ask for clarification for ad hoc OSGs (separate request) and how OSGs may change but membership does not automatically refresh on tickets already in Consensus Review
