The US RDA Test Coordinating Committee continues to evaluate and analyze the data from the US RDA Test. The report from the committee will be submitted to the senior managers of the three U.S. national libraries on May 6. The decision of those senior managers will be announced in June; the report for the public will be released before the 2011 ALA Annual Meeting (June 23-28).

Judging from Beacher Wiggins' comments during a session at ALA Midwinter this past January, March 31 was considered a soft deadline rather than a "drop dead" date. Would a representative from the Test Coordinating Committee offer an ETA on when the report might be released? -- Mark K.
