<p>In addition to documentation the formal remit of the CDM Working Group (WG) is to hear proposals for change, ratifying only those with valid use cases and data to support them. In the past, this was done by the WG alone. The group would invite others from around the community to present use cases for change and suggestions for improvement. The WG would then vote on the proposals and a new CDM version would be released after a certain period of time or if enough proposals were voted in. This approach worked when the community was smaller but as it is growing rapidly the CDM WG needed to adapt the refresh cycle such that everyone has an opportunity to weigh in on the proposed changes.</p>

<h3>1. Define New Version</h3>
<p>The image above describes the new CDM refresh cycle. It begins with <strong>defining a new version</strong>. This has been completed for the current cycle. Issues and proposals on the github were considered during a 4-hour workshop where it was decided the next CDM version will be CDM v5.4, building off of CDM v5.3. The group then participated in a rapid-fire voting activity to identify which changes should be incorporated into CDM v5.4. Any items that were not unanimously agreed upon were then discussed in small groups to hone the proposal and suggestions were presented back to the group. The final roadmap for CDM v5.4 can be found <a href="https://github.com/OHDSI/CommonDataModel/projects/3">here</a>.</p>

<h3>2. Sign off from Work Groups</h3>
<p>This is the current stage of the refresh cycle for CDM v5.4. Each member of the CDM WG is a liaison for another workgroup in the community. They are responsible for presenting the proposed changes to the CDM and collecting the feedback. This has resulted in very helpful suggestions from the EHR, Data Quality, Device, HADES, and ACHILLES groups. This outreach has proven to be very effective and should result in a very stable version.</p>

<h3>4. Software Update</h3>
<p>There will be period of time once the DDLs are ready to allow the software and methods developers to prepare for the official release of the CDM. This is meant to serve as a buffer so that once the community starts adopting the new model, the tools and methods will be ready to support it.</p>
