Category:CPs

This page currently describes our requirements for CPs and ideas for using the Wiki. Once we have figured it out and are ready to start drafting a proper CP page we should move this text to Discussion and draft here.

We could organize this page several ways.

1) We could have a manually edited table (probably similar to the Frameworks page, one table for each domain, that lists each CP, maybe indicates the Profile it affects, it's current status and a link to a file with the CP (or a bunch of them).

2) We could have an automatically generated list (similar to the Profile Implementations page. We would then have a page for each CP (based on a template). This might work best if the page was the actual master copy of the CP. The CP pages could have several categories like (XDS CPs) (IT Infra CPs) (Final Text CPs) which give us a bunch of handy autopopulating index pages. ...

CP Management

Despite the best efforts of the Technical Committee, documents may contain text that is unclear, incomplete or incorrect.

Change Proposals are the way stable, published technical documents (Technical Framework volumes, Final Text Supplements or Trial Implementation Supplements) can be modified. Change Proposals may be sumbitted by users, vendors or Technical Committee members, and usually result from experiences implementing Profiles, using Profiles or testing them at Connectathons.

A Submitted Change Proposal is documented using the Change Proposal Form and submitted to a Domain Technical Committee. The Change Proposal should include:

• a problem description,
• a rationale why the change is necessary,
• a proposed solution or approach to the problem,
• and the parts of the Technical Framework requested to be changed.

The Technical Committee regularly considers Change Proposals which are then either assigned or rejected.

A Rejected Change Proposal is published with a rationale from the Technical Committee explaining why the change is not appropriate.

An Assigned Change Proposal is assigned to a member of the Technical Committee as a work item for further investigation with the goal to produce adequate clarifications or corrections. The resulting text is reviewed by the Technical Committee, and if the text is considered adequate, it is approved.

An Approved Change Proposal is published by the Technical Committee. Typically a change proposal will stay in the Approved state for at least 30 days. This period provides a window of opportunity for any public comments on the change proposal which will be considered by the Technical Committee before it is made Final Text.

A Final Text Change Proposal is published by the Technical Committee, and is then considered effective. It will be merged into the next version of the Technical Framework, typically done at the end of the annual development cycle.

(Submitting a Change Proposal to a Final Text Change Proposal or a Final Text Supplement is not possible?)

The current version of a Technical Framework is the primary reference document. Final Text Supplements and Final Text Change Proposals from the current annual cycle supplement this document. Past Final Text documents are retained to provide convenient summaries of differences to prior versions of the Technical Framework or Trial Implementation versions of Supplements.
