Subject: Lloyd's Harmonization Proposals

Hi AMS,

Three proposals, all dealing with SubjectAreas

1. ControlAct should be moved out of 'CoreInfrastructure' into 'Acts'.
ControlAct is a *clinically significant* class, is descended from 'Act' and
carries important business information.  Placing it in CoreInfrastructure
leads to the impression that it has equivalent importance to the Heir
classes (which are kludges which will go away when we adopt the MIF), and
InfrastructureRoot which is intended to provide metadata.  ControlAct is an
Act on par with SubstanceAdministration, InvoiceElement and any other Act,
and should be subject to balloting.

(Tabled Until May 30)

2. CoreInfrastructure should be moved from being a sibling of
MessageCommunicationControl to be a sibling (under CommunicationControl).
CoreInfrastructure is needed when messaging, when constructing structured
documents, or constructing any other instance (e.g. EHR), and therefore it
is inappropriate for it to be a child of MessageCommunicationControl.

(Voted 7 in favor) Passed

3. NormativeContent (which contains the RIM backbone classes) should be
renamed to "FoundationClasses".  We don't want to confuse
the name of a subject area with it's ballot status.  At some future point,
the StructuredDocuments subject area might also be normative.

(voted 7 in favor) Passed as modified

I haven't prepared a spreadsheet because none of the allowed 'actions'
apply to any of these changes.
