      Add explanation that the intent that this release was more about the common data than patterns of exchange. We will add the material about actors and expectations for who, what, and when exchanges should or could take place in the next round of balloting, since that material will be substantial and require additional review.

      Existing wording: mCODE (short for Minimal Common Oncology Data Elements) is an initiative intended to assemble a core set of structured data elements for oncology electronic health records (EHRs). mCODE is a step towards capturing research-quality data from the treatment of all cancer patients.

      The purpose of this IG is not entirely clear. Who are the intended users, especially who are the intended receivers? The sending/receiving details can only be found in the implementation notes, so it's not even clear that the focus is on data exchange. The existing wording in the background makes it sound like the purpose is to define what information EHRs should capture, rather than on what and how they should exchange the information. The purpose and intended users should be clearly stated on the home page.
