140	Assemble the Baseline Set of Standards for Easy Reference	Ioana	John Rhoads	Feb 4, 2015	OPEN	Oct. F2F 2012: Assemble the baseline set of standards used by PCD, providing the complete stack or dependency standards/specifications (or pointer to that set). Ioana's suggestion relates to a new user perspective - trying to dive into the specs - what looks deceivingly simple, is not, with layer upon layer. Is this the responsibility of the MDICC? July 10, 2013: John Rhoads announced that HL7 now makes it possible to view their standards for no cost. Monroe noted that the cost for IEEE standards is prohibitive for new and small organizations. PCD will investigate access to base standards. Add John Rhoads. Manny to ping Ioana. Nov. 20, 2013: Change date to April 2014 F2F Feb 19, 2014: Change Date to April 2014 F2F.

Nov 19, 2014: Change due date to Dec TC call. Dec 3, 2014: Do we need a higher level document to reference easily? RTMMS addresses a lot of it. Prometheus tools may do that as well. Building another spreadsheet to maintain may be self-defeating. Seems to overlap with cross domain specs. Refer to AI 140 comments for this item. Set date to Feb 2015.
143	Describe HL7 Version Implications	Jeff McGeath	John Rhoads, John Garguilo, Todd	JAN 7, 2015	OPEN	Oct. F2F 2012: Add reference to the HL7 list providing the per version relevance and analysis.

150	Seek null flavors in HL7 2.9	Doug, Ioana		Jan 7, 2015	OPEN	Oct. F2F 2012: For PCIM these could indicate the known missing identification. Ioana believes this should be the responsibility of the developer and the TF can specify how to do this. Added by John G: Real issue is legacy device adapters -more of a gap analysis of what device does NOT support. E.g., Declaring conformance to the delta of what is/not provided by PCD-01 -this would be part of the technical specification. Where would this be defined by the developer?
