Government Projects Work Group Meeting Minutes

September 16, 2008

Meeting came to order at beginning of 4th quarter. 3rd Quarter scheduling conflicts were in place at the last minute for 2 of the participants due to other technical committee meetings. Previous minutes were reviewed, and will be approved on an ensuing phone conference with participants present.

The participants present discussed the role of the Government Projects SIG in the HL7 SDO, and why government agencies sent representatives to SDOs. The student participant was going to pursue a PhD in sociology and was investigating the role of standards in industries exhibiting knowledge-based economic practices. 30 minutes was spent on giving orientation m

Due to the low turnout of U.S. Federal Participants due to international travel restrictions, it is determined that statuses of the old business and new business will be given on a phonecon between now and the January meeting.

Ms Orvis, as co-chair, determined that there was not a quorum and will work with the other co-chairs to determine the new date..

The Government Projects SIG is expected to meet again at the January 2009 Working Group in Orlando, FL. Per input from the VA co-chair.. At that time it is expected that new project(s) will be submitted for consideration..
