New Business

• 2020 HC-SIG Membership Survey is Live!
  • While 2019 has been a very productive year within Hyperledger and our own HC-SIG, we're hoping to make 2020 a more engaging and educational year for everyone. With a very large and diverse international membership of healthcare professionals interested in identifying and using blockchain technologies in general, and the Hyperledger greenhouse of frameworks and tools in specific, I believe we have yet to tap the true potential of what we can do collectively to shape our global healthcare community.
    
    To make full use of such great potential, we need your insight and guidance. Please take some time now to participate in our 2020 HC-SIG Membership Survey
  • Your input will set the direction for our 2020 membership year, so please consider this as critical to the ongoing growth and success of the HC-SIG.
  • The survey will remain open until 2020.02.14

• Open Discussions (Rich)

  • Discussion: your thoughts on changes you'd like to see with the HC-SIG?

Next Meeting
