  • Discussion
  • Jürgen: Yes, has not approved in terms of numbers of participants, but we now have people in the loop, which were not there before (Aus, Kor, Jap)
  • Vince: The staggering is important, because otherwise Australia could never have been present. Participation of Asia was quite ok all of the time in the Asian-friendly calls.
  • Stephane: The US calls have same attendance as before, so in total it's even a slight increase in number of partipcation
  • All: Much more diverse participation with the staggered schedule (in terms of people and countries)
  • Tie: Number of partipication is not a matter of the schedule -> we need topics to increase participation (problem-based approach)
  • All: The staggered schedule is "enabling" participation better as the schedule before
  • Unanimously conclusion: let's keep the staggered schedule


Global Consortium for eHealth Interoperability Update

  • Status
  • Vince: Nominations for the committees feel pretty US-centric. There is no Asian participation at all, hardly few from Europe
  • Tie: ad strategic members: the consortium must provide benefits to those strategic members. Also lookout for other sectors.

  • Step 4: Replay presentation in the complementary slot (where the presenting region is not attending)
  • Step 5: Enlist presentation in a "libarary of presentations" on GDC Wiki

  • Decision: regular presentations on the project course desired (Jürgen)
  • Action item: Prepare presentation for February slot (Jürgen)
  • Australia: National approach to Health IT Standards selection (Vince)
