All: 

      
Thanks to those who were able to join us on the telecon 
      yesterday.  We 
had a really good turnout, 
      especially given that we met on an altered 
time 
      schedule due to the US holiday. 

      
Attached to this message are the minutes from that 
      call.  Thanks to Alan 
for getting these 
      together. 

      
I had taken an action to determine and implement a 
      strategy to integrate 
the listservers between HL7 
      and OMG.  I'm happy to report that we have a 
solution that appears to be workable.  I have created a "yahoo 
      group" 
that is subscribed to both the HL7 and OMG 
      lists.  If you subscribe to 
this list, you'll 
      receive all of this project's mail traffic. 
Conversely, you'll be able to post to the HL7, OMG, or Yahoo 
      list.  Note 
that we WILL NOT be reconciling 
      email traffic to the HL7 and OMG lists. 
Once this 
      is fully operational--based on a public announcement to 
follow--we'll ask that members no longer cross-post to both HL7 and 
      OMG 
lists.  

      
I realize that this isn't a perfect solution, but I 
      believe it is 
workable and won't take herculean 
      efforts to implement. 

      
In the meantime, please subscribe to the Yahoo list.  
      The list will not 
be moderated, but you will have 
      to be "approved" to register.  Simply 
send 
      the moderator your name, company contact info, and standards group 
      
affiliation(s) and you'll be added. 

      
SPAMMERS will not be tolerated and will be banished from 
      the list.  

      
Thanks as always for your ongoing interest and patience 
      while we get 
these administrivia items taken care 
      of.

For those unfamiliar with Yahoo Groups, if you choose to 
      become a yahoo 
member you'll be able to browse 
      past emails and shared items.  I believe 
that 
      you can subscribe to the list and receive and post messages without 
      
becoming a yahoo member, but you will not have these 
      privileges.
