New Root OID for EMR POS Vendor - Input Health

Hi,

I would suggest that the proposed symbolic name of "input" is not a good choice - it is too generic.

Can I suggest "inputHS" or "ca-inputHS" as the symbolic name?

Also the description should include something like "in Canada" at the end to include the fact that it is intended for the Canadian jurisdiction?

And reiterating my comments about they type of OIDs assigned to vendors:
Even though the current recommendation for vendor oids is for type 3, I think type 4 should be preferred as we really don't want to encourage vendors to start creating OIDs for their applications without consulting the jurisdiction(s) that they are implementing in. If they are to be assigning authorities (type 3), I would expect them to need to confirm with this group any OIDs they are creating...

Otherwise, in my opinion, this will lead to a lot of duplicates (even if they aren't registered at the international level) and confusion, as well as re-work when a vendor makes an installation for a specific jurisdiction.

For example, Alberta would expect all vendor OIDs to be used within Alberta to be confirmed with our OID registry team first...
