Phase One Pilot Surveys
The results of the first pilot surveys are available for review.
The purpose of the ONC Pilot phase is to evaluate and implement the technology in real-world situations and aid in learning the policies that will be required for an operational system, identify barriers for implementation, and revise reference implementations and harmonized specifications based on real-world lessons learned. Finally the implementations will be transitioned to open source communities for long term sustainment. CQF aims to improve the rigor of its specifications by piloting them with members of the CQF community.

Below are templates to assist with this activity. Both templates contain the same information, so please use whichever template works best for you. Keep in mind you will be presenting this information to the pilots group as part of the Pilots activities.
