Beta version in the Browser
Would anyone use a Beta version of the Browser - so we would publish it with the Member release on 30th June for example, for a month before the 31st July public release. The only potential issue is that affiliates would have access to it as well and so might end up using data prematurely?

RESOLUTION: Closed down as agreed with everyone in face to face meeting on Apr 24, 2017
No-one has an interest in this at present, as everyone who is in a position to evaluate the Releases have already got processes in place for this. The clinical level of review that this type of Beta browser could engender should already have taken place long before we get to the Alpha/Beta stages, and so this shouldn't be encouraged at this point. In particular, this could be dangerous due to the unconfirmed content being too easily accessed and used in clinical systems if we make it available at this stage (whilst simultaneously stating that no-one should use it as such in the Readme file and Release Notes).
TRAG confirmed that there are no new use cases for this, and this discussion should therefore be closed down until further notice.
