Merger Discussion

  • Charles provided a recap of the discussion at the IHE Steering Committee. They are supportive of the merger; however, we do need to identify profiles separately as either AP or Lab profiles. Only common profiles (both Lab and AP) would be the exception of not being identified separately.
  • The merger needs to be discussed on the IHE DCC group (ALREADY DONE). Also because this is an international group, it needs to be presented to the Board.

  • ACTION: Mary K will update Chris Carr and IHE Board Chairas to the current process of the merger and include the timeline for the voting of the merger.
  • Step one: agree formally and move forward or disagree and stay separate (if negative, the process stops). If agreed, then transition period will happen (consolidating of documents, including wiki pages.
  • Charles: Need to word the merger not that “ If the domains agree to merger, then it will be presented to the Board for final approval. If IHE Board does not approve the merger, then it will stay separate. The domain cannot make the merger change without official approval from the IHE International Board. “
  • The IHE Board meeting will be on October 8th. We need to have everything completed by Sept 25th. We have to submit action item to board to review by October 1st
