2021-05-18 Meeting notes

Planning to respond to the EO per the email Tom shared May 17 to the FIRE-WG list if approval is received from Colin. 

5 FIRE-WG members, Tom Jones, Jeff Brennan, Noreen Whysel, Bev Corwin and Jim Kragh voted via email to respond as Kantara, constituting a quorum. No response: Sal D'Agostino, Catherine Schulten, Mary Hodder.

Tom's email:

we have only a few days to respond to this request - and i would like to do so.
At the least we need to explain that we have proposed some parts of this already for ONC and have a proposal in the works.

One interesting question is whether patient interactions with their physician should be considered critical.  As a patient I would think so but
would like to hear other thoughts on that issue. (A related issue is the First Net Is emergency medicine critical?)

The question is whether Kantara is sufficiently nimble to respond in a few days or if I need to make the response on my own? Clearly it would be
better from Kantara.

Colin's email:

Greetings folks

Tom shared the link to the early start on the HIAWG.

There's some interest from the IAWG (and possibly the PImDL DG once the Report is finished) in developing a Kantara-wide response. 

In both cases that is not to all questions - most likely 2,3,6 and 15.. possibly one or 2 others.

Would the FIRE WG object to the sharing of the link to the other Groups and engage in joint discussion on it?

Kind regards

Colin
