Domain Coordination Issues
1. Domain Timeline Coordination

- Action: Secretariat to send reminder to outstanding domains to enter their milestone dates
- Action: Kevin to add column to table for estimated number of supplements
2. Committee Quorums
- Discussion prior to potentially bumping to IHE Board
- Confirm secretariat responsibility for monitoring/recording quorum
- Is it an issue if a committee consistently fails to reach quorum
- Is there a mimimum acceptable quorum for a committee? 1? 2? 3? 4?
- Consensus: Set floor of five voting members for committee to be active (quorum minimum is 3)
- Action: Committee Secretaries to Establish procedure for when committees fall below minimum
- Action: Secretariat to schedule Committee Secretary Update Meeting
3. R2 optionality definition document review
- ITI, PCC, Rad and Lab definitions of R2 are all similar to HL7 RE (required, empty)
- ITI, Rad: R2=Required if know, must be able to capture and transmit
- PCC: R2=Required if known, not required to capture (system-by-system differences)
- Lab: RE=R2, similar to interpretation used by ITI, Rad; harmonize on single designation?
- PCC will align its definition of R2 with usage by ITI, Rad
- PCC will develop separate optionality designation (R3?): if you capture, you must send, but you are not required to capture
- R2 derived from DICOM Type 2, but coinage of IHE; continue to use for DICOM designation
- RE to be used for 2.x HL7 message profiling
- General principle: document requirements in syntax of underlying standard
- Action: Keith Boone to draft definition of RE as possible replacement for R2; based on Lab definition of RE?
- Action: Lab, Rad, PCD, ITI and PCC Tech Cmtes to review definition and agree on how and when to use
- Document compiling language on R2 and RE from ITI, PCC, Lab and Rad TFs
