• Approval of agenda

• Approved

National Deployment Committees

• Board reports and status updates
• New Reports

• None

• Discussion

• Meaning of Membership status column?
• Constraints of "Membership status" are a combination of fee and activity (report) -> have to be defined

• Asian colleagues agree that this is a GDC work-item, to propose the concept to the board for approval

• Peter: Fee to IHE International is a problem for IHE AUS, because there is no income model present. Costs are minimal at the momeng, covered by the small inputs from workshops, etc. - 1500 USD for the IHE Int fee is over that

• Needs a solution, otherwise IHE AUS has to close down(!)
• Is interested in how other countries are doing that
• See decision and action item below

IHE World Summit 2020

• Status update (Jürgen)

• World Summit is still on go, Corona virus
• Idea: allow web-cast for registered persons, or offer a special registration for that

Engagement of Deployment Committees

• Discussion

• Sharpening the role and purpose of Deployment Committees

• Shall we give more "constrains" in the governance document? Would that be received as guidance or threat?
• Asian colleagues: should be decided after having investigated the success factors of Deployment Committees
• Only well-accepted constraints shall be added into the governance document
• In principal these things should be documented in a "guidance" and self-evaluation document aside (scorecard)

• Activity measurements (affects fees, reporting, ...)?

• Work-item: work out a concept and to the board for approval

• How can we support national Deployment Committees?

• 1) Support them in terms of financial sustainability
• Decision: New work item started: Dedicated survey on how Deployment Committees manage their funding and being self-sustained

• Sources: Ask Deployment Committees, analyse Deployment Committee Reports
• Another idea: Add this aspect into the Deployment Committee report template -> long-term
• Action item: Peter offers to ask a colleague from IHE AUS to take up this work-item (Peter)

• How do we get more participation to the GDC calls and meetings?

• Idea: Interesting presentations could be included in the agenda on a regular basis
• Decsion: Deployment Commmittees will be invited to give interesting presentations to a topic of their own in GDC meetings

• Process: "Interesting topics" will be identified while reviewing the Deployment Committee reports, and after agreement of the DC rep scheduled to be presented in a future GDC meeting (including advertising)
• This results into a schedule of "interesting topics" throughout the period, e.g. a presentation very 2 months
• Interesting topics could be: successes, challenges and failures (including learnings)

Joint IHE/HL7 AsiaPac summit, Singapore

• Status

• TODO list status received from Korea and Australia, no response from Japan yet
• Action item: Contact IHE Japan for clarifying the HL7 Singapore engagement (business-critical for the event) (Jürgen)

Any other business

• None
