Thanks Pablo,

Agreed.

Not suggesting this, especially in retrospect. It just isn’t going to happen. The more important question for the Board is about how the clinical modelling program can be enhanced to accelerate the publication of more models that vendors can implement is an ‘elephant in the room’ issue that is not being addressed.

I trust that the other aspects of technical validation are being addressed by the Specifications group & others, and we’ll see those discussions evolve [here](https://discourse.openehr.org/t/openehr-conformance-conformance-levels-conformance-scopes/1616/3)
