Minutes

This is NOT a voting call. This call is for proposal authors to briefly present their detailed proposals to the Technical Committee to complete their review and estimations of effort.

• Enterprise Scanner Protocol Management Proposal (presented by Dr. Krishna Juluru)

• Q: Do we have a profile editor?
• A: Chris L. has done some editing but is not the primary SME for this proposal. Propose new profile to focus on restful services to implement.
• Q: Is there a growing interest to develop this profile?
• A: Yes, there is a growing need to address the open issues. The legal aspect of protocol management may become an issue which could invoke legal pressure.

• Effort estimation: 35%

• Cross-Enterprise Reporting for Imaging (Presented by Mauro Zanardini)

• Risks and Open Issues

• Q: Collaboration with PCC - what does this really mean? What state of the document should encompass this collaboration? What is the goal of this alignment? Does PCC have useful experts?

• The historical issue was coordinating and incorporating those experts into the development process. Would they actually attend RAD meetings or review offline? Could RADTech members attend PCC meetings?
• There are conflicting timelines with publication and F2F meetings between both RAD and PCC.

• A: PCC has most experience implementing workflow definition profiles. Would be helpful to have them review/comment on RAD profile development. PCC also works closely with ITI domain which helps with communication facilitation.
• Isabelle (GIP-SIB) stated that France is interested in the development of this profile due to their expertise

• Effort estimation:
