Domain Process Issues

• Profile Selection Methods
  • Profile Proposal Process describes the general method for selecting profiles for development
  • Respective roles of Technical and Planning Committees vary somewhat from domain to domain
  • Updated page to reflect possibility of joint Planning/Technical Committee participation in final selection of profiles

Documentation, Websites and Public Information

1. Review Document Specialist/Information Librarian Job Description

• Action Item: Co-chairs to provide comments on job description by 2009-09-24

• Technical Framework section numbering (Karen Witting)
  • Some domains use static section numbering so that section numbers, at least the two or three top levels, don't change. i.e. a profile is always section x and a transaction is always section y. Some domains (ex. PCC) are not maintaining static section numbering so this has caused ITI has to update their section references each year as sections are moved. Should domains use consistent section numbering to support consistent cross-referencing.
  • Agreement that using persistent numbers sections at the profile section is preferred practice
  • Action Item: Kevin O'Donnell will add a few lines to indicate this on the Writing Technical Frameworks page

• Consistent naming strategies for yearly directories on ftp site.
  • Discussion deferred to 2009-09-01 tcon
