Thanks David. This is an interesting proposition.

We will need to have feedback, especially from the Steering Committee. 
But there seems no doubt that health is a very significant item of 
public sector expenditure and a major focus of ICT applications within 
the general context of eGovernment.

There could be a case for proposing an OASIS Technical Committee to 
develop these standards, but affiliated to the Member Section. and 
working in an integrated way.

Thank you for putting this on the table for discussion.
Best wishes,
Carol
