PCD Change Proposals 2009-2010
Introduction
Italics represent areas for specific attentions
The PCD CP process follows the general IHE CP process described on the Change Proposal process page. The following sections give more detail on the general process for PCD participants involved in the CP process.
The PCD specific CP Process
The following text explains what the process used by the PCD Technical Commitee in processing submitted CPs. It is consistent with the general IHE CP process and is informative only.
- Submission into the [1] directory. This is typically done via an email to the Technical Committee co-chair in charge of CPs or by directly updating the directory if you have access to the ftp write password.
- First consideration by the committee. If CP is accepted it is given a CP #, assigned an editor, renamed to CP-ITI-xxx-00.doc and placed in the table as Assigned status. If the CP is rejected it is moved to Rejected and submitter is informed of explanation for rejection. Likely reasons for rejection are: duplicate, merged, withdrawn or not enough information to understand the request. Rejected CPs can be resubmitted with more information for reconsideration.
- Committee works with editor to draft the CP. Versions are kept in Assigned directory and numbered -00, -01, -02, etc.
- Committee decides CP is ready for ballot. Latest version of CP is moved to Completed Cirectory and old versions are moved to old_versions.
- Co-chair collects Completed CPs into a ballot. The Ballot directory will be used for this.
- Ballot is released to the general community for voting note - the CP process differs - it requires public comment
- Votes and comments are collected. If the CP vote is "Yes" to approve the CP, the CP is moved to FinalText. "No" votes are resolved by the committee. Sometimes a CP is withdrawn, sometimes a NO vote is changed to a YES vote after explanations. The CP may be updated in this process. If updates are insignificant (clarification only) the CP is considered passed. If updates are significant the CP is submitted for another ballot.
- CP approved in the ballot are put in FinalText and scheduled to be integrated into the Technical Framework or Supplement.
Directory Structure
As CPs are processed through various statuses they move from one directory to another. would we use a single page/table? The directories are:
- Assigned
- contains CPs that have been assigned an editor and are being actively worked on by the committee, i.e. Assigned status
- Ballots
- contains Ballots that have been released for voting by the general community
- Canceled
- contains CPs that have been canceled, i.e. Canceled status
- Completed
- contains the last version of a CP that is in Completed status. It is waiting to be put in a ballot
- FinalText
- contains the last version of a CP that is in FinalText status. It is has been approved by ballot and is waiting to be integrated into the TF.
- FinalText/Integrated
- contains the version of the CP that was integrated into the TF.
- Incoming
- contains CPs which have been submitted but have not been assigned a CP number or an editor. This is the place that new incoming CPs are placed prior to the first stage of processing by the committee.
- old_versions
- Contains old versions of Completed and FinalText CPs
- Rejected
- CPs that have been submitted by rejected by the committee
- Status
- contains spreadsheets describing the status of CPs.
Archived Change Proposal pages
Ongoing work on CPs is placed on the current year CP page. Prior years work can be accessed at:
do we want a single page per year or a page with multiple years at least until the volume is much higher?
ITI CP Tracking
All Change Propoposal management is in CP ftp site. The tracking spreadsheet can be accessed at Status directory. It is the file with the most recent date in that directory.
