Review of Tools and Processes

1. Key Wiki Pages for Committee Processes

• Process
• IHE Profile Design Principles and Conventions

• In general domains are following the principles laid out; in some domains the separation of planning and technical activities is less distinct since there is a significant overlap in membership
• Responsibilities of Planning and Technical Committees in profile selection may be shared differently in different Domains
• May add notes to indicate that Technical Committee has responsibility for proposing a slate of profiles for approval to a Planning Committee
• Review Profile Design Principles on future call
• CP process: should facilitate submission process using secretary alias addresses for Technical Committee for Technical Framework
• Action Item: Update Change Proposal Wiki page and Supplement Template boilerplate text to clarify submission process; Kevin O'Donnell will change Process page

• Add link to ftp site to Tool Usage section of Process page

• Manuel Metz is developing Wiki page on guidelines for supplement writers; review on February call

• Domain/Committee Pages

• Timelines need co-chairs to work with secretaries to develop general cycle of activities; not to be as detailed as Committee pages which list specific meetings, minutes, etc.
• Roadmap section: ITI example; add section for profiles under long-term development
• Should demonstrations and other events be listed?
