Domain Coordination Issues

• Review Overview of Technical Framework Publication Process

• Flow diagram documents process; new steps to strengthen process identified in red text

• Proposed timeline is based on greater lead time to Connectathon than some domains currently maintain. Proposed timeline changes would need to be reviewed.

• Proposal incorporates independent review by a Technical Review Board (TRB)

• What would be its role? Advisory or executive (ie, pass/fail)? How distinguished from Domain Coordination Committee?

• Advisory and mentoring relationship, particularly to new domains.
• Could refer issues to DCC or Board for appeal to their executive power. Failure criteria could include testability and implementability; scheduling of release. Remedies could include recommended changes or republication for additional public comment.
• Perhaps refer issues to DCC or Board for higher-level review?

• Who would be included?

• Teri's proposal based on DICOM WG-06 and HL7 Architecture Review Board
• DICOM WG-06 has executive power. HL7 ARB is advisory.
• Under proposal TRB would be composed of process mavens (6-8 members).

• How would it be managed?

• Developing governance rules is critical. Keep under authority of DCC and Board

• Action Item: Teri S to develop one-page proposal describing TRB for review on March 15

• Board discussion of Domain Coordination Strategic Planning
