How to participate
Discussions will be managed via the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Google Group.

Governance

 * Questions for PDMP Community discussion will be posted here on the PDMP S&I Framework Wiki for community awareness, with a link to the threaded conversation on the question hosted on the PDMP Google Group page.
 * Questions will remain open for a period of two weeks for public discussion. During the open-discussion time, any member with an account on our Google Groups forum may participate.
 * Any member of the public may request an account and access for participation in our Google Groups discussions. Membership on the S&I Framework wiki site does not automatically confer an account on the Google Groups discussions – these must be established separately.
 * Anyone with a Google Groups account and forum membership may participate in the discussion by logging into a Google Groups account, and responding to a discussion thread.
 * The Google Group discussions will be moderated.
 * Approved postings shall be made public with 24 hours of submission.
 * Postings will be disapproved in accordance with, but not necessarily limited to the following:
 * Inappropriate language
 * Personal attacks
 * Irrelevant responses
 * Promotional material for a product or service
 * We reserve the right to re-allocate a posting to the appropriate question in the event that an error in assigning topic is made.
 * Appeals may be made to the moderator by email.
 * Upon closing of the discussion period for a given question, the PDMP team will host a WebEx (or similar) forum to reach consensus on a community decision
 * The forum will be announced two weeks in advance (unless driven by unusual circumstances), and will allow for an hour of discussion. The decision of the community will be captured in a summative statement on the Google Groups discussion thread for that question, at which point the question will be closed for further discussion on Google Groups.
 * The original question, summative decision statement, and the link to the now archived Google Groups discussion thread shall also be captured back into this PDMP S&I Framework Wiki for reference purposes.
