Engagement of Deployment Committees

• Work item: Interesting presentations could be included in the agenda on a regular basis

• Purpose: "US/Asia/Europe slots" for such presentations of "interesting topic of the country" (maybe 3/6 times a year)

• Expected result: more participation in GDC calls

• Process: Call for presentations to DCs -> make long-term presentation schedule -> do proper advertising and invite (also board)
• Status work item: Active

• Process:

• Step 1: Prominent announcement of the presentation slot (mentioning the GDC call) to GDC and Board
• Step 2: Presentations given once (in just one GCD call)
• Step 3: Presentation will be cut out of the general recording and advertised for offline viewing in dedicated emails to the GDC and Board
• 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
• Action item: Execute annoucement process (Michael)

• Format of presentation slot:

• 1) Optional (on decision of the author): 5-7min recorded slides to the topic
• 2) On decision of the author: Recording will be played -- or -- "live" presentation recorded in the slot scheduled + 13-15min Q&A indepth discussion with call participants with the presenter

• Total time for presentation + discussion: 20min
• Including improvements and review of presentations

• 3) If author AND committee approves, that topic is worth publishing for PR: -> Publishing of the video on IHE Youtube channel

• Work item: How can we support national Deployment Committees?

• "Good experiences" is an important way to support, develop a guideline of success factors, any help regarding getting membership

• e.g., by setting up work-items/activities/etc. on International level, which are "so interesting" for countries, to that they can use it to advertise local membership

• Status work item: On hold - waiting for IHE Europe input, results brought to this group as base for staring the work-item::* Pending confirmation
• Status Action Items

• Work item: Sharpening the role and purpose of Deployment Committees
