Minutes
- For future calls, move to 1 hour earlier. 8-10am CDT
- First hour: Issues from the planning committees
- Second hour: Issues from the Technical committees (the technical discussion will occur immediately after the planning committee discussions, and may occur before the top of the hour.)
- Agenda reviewed: an update from Mary K. regarding the DCC (Domain Coordinators Committee) meeting was added.
- Merge process was reviewed:
- Why are we merging? Two new reasons were added:
- The 2 domains have a common secretariat in CAP. Hope to retain both current secretariats (Mary for AP and Carolyn for Laboratory) as secretariat workload will most likely double
- Hope that vendor involvement across AP and Lab will be enhanced, as merge process will allow for increased visibility. We have historically had low vendor involvement on the AP side.
- Why we should be careful? Risk added by Christel:
- It may be more difficult to involve vendors in France and Germany with the broader scope (AP + CP) of the merged domains.
- We can mitigate this risk by clearly defining topics with time frames slotted for their discussion on future agendas, so folks can attend the topics pertinent to them.
- Why are we merging? Two new reasons were added:
- Vendors currently who have expressed interest in participating in Digital Imaging profiles: Cerner, MIPS (Filip)
- How should we proceed?
- DCC update: We can work with Chris Carr-they will be happy to help us.
- They recommend that we do not change the names of existing profiles, but rather add links to those profiles once new wiki is created.
- It will take quite some time to accomplish the merge.
- Riki and Mary both attend the DCC calls and will be our connection to DCC
- Christel will promote and explain the benefits and risks along with risk mitigation to the AP community.
- DCC update: We can work with Chris Carr-they will be happy to help us.
- Formal agreement to merge:
- Suggest September 2015 for distribution of the ballot for merging AP + Lab

Technical Topics
