o  CQI strategy for evaluating and responding to CQI standards issues, questions, and comments:

§  US government contractors are expected to cross-post issues, questions, and comments related to CQI standards into the appropriate HL7 DSTU webpage.

§  CQI will add a standing once a month item to CQI’s conference call agenda for CQI to proactively review outstanding standards issues, questions, and comments.

o  Instead of maintaining specifics about projects in the 3-year plan, CQI will periodically review Project Insight to ensure it is up-to-date and properly identifies scope, timeline, and deliverables.
