Jane MillarCut off for external collaboration partner CRS Requests (IHE, HL7, etc) - set date of 15th March + 15th September each cycle for clarity

NO FURTHER MRCM CHANGES ACCEPTED - everyone has agreed this, with the caveat that any critical changes can be reviewed by all of us in order to analyse impact vs business case and allow a change if absolutely necessary.

The final state of all MRCM refsets will then automatically be included in both authoring validation + release packages

NO FURTHER CRS REQUESTS ACCEPTED

  

Maria Braithwaite

  • NO FURTHER BATCH LOADS OR BULK UPDATES
  • NO FURTHER PROMOTION FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE LARGE SCALE CHANGES - For example this would include large scale changes to foundational hierarchies such as anatomy or substances, or changes that are likely to have impact to reports such as the pattern report (e.g. redundant relationships) or MRCM (e.g. cardinality issues in legacy content where edits have been made to that content without resolving the pre-existing cardinality issue).

  • Last day for authors to launch new tasks in SCA - no more new tasks launched after this date,

  • PLANNED Early Alpha Release date

Andrew Atkinson

PLANNED ALPHA Release date

Restart the mapping Drip Feed - this can actually be done earlier than the final Alpha if required, as the only pre-requisite is to complete the ICD-0/ICD-10 testing in the Alpha build. This is simply to provide confidence that there will not likely be map changes during the Alpha/Beta stage, which could in theory create re-work for the teams. This risk should be balanced against the growing backlog of map changes, and a decision made whether to use an early Alpha build to switch the drip feed back on.

Restart validation in SCA (no longer relevant - new process should allow validation to re-start immediately when Content authoring starts for next editing cycle)
