Issues relating to Protocols

TBD

• Decision: There are two views about how Protocols can be used (4/15):

   1.	Protocols can evaluate guidance where the outcomes cannot be measured, such as evaluating whether a process has been followed.
   2.	Protocols are above or beyond any type of conformance, aka “extra credit”

• Decision: Work will continue on both areas of consensus. (4/15)
• Decision: Meetings will alternate between 8am and 12pm EST. (4/15)
• Decision: Table discussion of splitting discussion during meetings until we have mechanics worked out but can split the time to both theories next week to keep discussion and work moving. (4/15)
• Decision: Protocols measures inputs and not outcomes. 7 January 2022 Subgroup?
• Decision: Accountability mechanisms are necessary. 7 January 2022 Subgroup?
• Decision: For measurement, accountability mechanism of protocols corresponds to measurement mechanism of outcome statement. 7 January 2022 Subgroup?
• Undecided: Accountability of protocols has same visibility as conformance statement, or is part of conformance claim. 7 January 2022 Subgroup?
• AG agrees to explore this direction, working on the next steps from the presentation
