Establish The Team

Once the NIH Chief IT Architect determines that a domain team will be convened, she/he defines the scope of the domain team. Then, a formal request is sent to IC CIOs and other relevant stakeholders (as determined by the Chief IT Architect) to nominate members for the domain team. The NIH Chief IT Architect then selects the team members.

A working group can also be convened to develop a standard or best practice. Working groups are comprised of stakeholders which may include individuals, groups, and organizations. Contributions from working groups may be unsolicited.
