Introductionary remarks / Document Status

This is a first workgroup draft.

Roles

This section describes the roles need to be filled to get the ICP going.

A "Board" (??) within IHE

A "Board", "Workgroup" or else within IHE must be responsible for the ICP. This board will not do the work. It will receive reports and drafts an decide on all issues related to ICP. It will e.g. decide on the exam that has been prepared by Exam Developers.

The "Board" will also coordinate with other groups in IHE, e.g. the technical workgroups in order to assure that the ICP aligns to the overall activities of IHE and to the TFs.

The "Board" may be a voluntary effort.

Exam Developer

Exam Developers invest significant time into collecting, reviewing, managing the exam questions.

This effort will need resources.

Exam Reviewer

Exam Reviewers assure that the exam is technically correct and complete. They will provide feedback to Exam Developers. The Exam Developers will provide the exams in a way that enables a fast and efficient review.

Exam Reviewers may represent IHE (technical) working groups, and do reviews this as part of the voluntary IHE effort.

Exam Test Candidates

The exam will need to undergo testing by a group of test persons. This will e.g. be necessary whenever larger changes in the exam occur. Exam Test Candidates will provide feedback to Exam Developers.

Exam Test Candidates may take the exam at an IHE event. For example CAT attendees may take the exam at the CAT. As a benefit they may e.g. receive the ICP at a reduced rate.


Exam Provider

Exam Providers will provide the exam, in written and/or electronic form.

Exam Providers charge the candidates for the exam service.
