I agree that ISO is not the place to develop standards, but it is a body
recognized by all the world. The concept of the JIC appears to be
functional - not smooth and not easy, but progress is being made. It is
not so much that one organization is better than another or that one
standard is better, but there are good and bad with some of what we do. I
think the good outweighs the bad, and we can fix some problems.
Why don't we go off line, and try to come up with a plan, then bring back
to the larger community.

I like your reply. I am willing to commit to putting energy behind

Not wanting to be more of a trouble-maker than usual, but I would have to
say - if we could work this out together, let's do it, but I don' t think
ISO is the place to do it, only to a) have wide-ranging background
discussions and b) to rubber stamp the result. ISO might be the appropriate
background community, but it can't come up with the framework or standards
- it is in fact quite bad at that. My more detailed opinions on this are
here: http://wolandscat.net/2009/09/17/the-crisis-in-e-health-standards/
I know (once again) that what is stated there won't be popular with some
people, but the feedback has been very interesting indeed.
