PCC members,
One of the possible decisions that might be announced by the US national
libraries in June is implementation of RDA. In the event that happens,
PCC Policy Committee members felt, in strategic planning terms, we
wanted the ability to quickly commission several key task groups to get
the community ready for implementation. Contingent on a decision to
implement RDA, the task group activities that would be most important to
accomplish first are the ones identified during the CONSER & BIBCO
Operations Committee meetings held in early May. The task group charges
can be seen here:

To establish the membership of the groups, the Policy Committee would
draw on the results of the March 2011 PCC expression of interest
survey. (However, if you are strongly interested in participating and
didn't express interest via the survey, you may let us know by
forwarding this message to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> by June
9. Please don't reply to this list.)
Of course, in the event the national libraries decide not to implement
RDA, some other course of action by the PCC will be needed.
