The following message from Dominique Bourassa, chair of CC:DA, outlines the process that CC:DA will follow in the coming weeks to review and discuss RDA revision proposals and discussion papers submitted by other groups. I'll also forward a separate message that identifies the first five proposals for review.
As the PCC liaison to CC:DA, I will be happy to post comments from PCC members on the CC:DA blog for any of these proposals. Please send your comments to me at [email protected]. Lori Robare PCC Liaison to CC:DA [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bourassa, Dominique Sent: Friday, August 07, 2015 8:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [rules] CC:DA review of JSC proposals CC:DA, We are now entering what is probably the busiest time of the year for CC:DA: we must discuss and authorize ALA responses to proposals and discussion papers that were submitted to the JSC by other groups and will be discussed by the JSC at the November meeting. This year, we are expecting to respond to 28 proposals. Kathy asked us to complete this task by Friday, September 18. I will follow a method similar to that used by our former chair, Robert Rendall, last year. Each Friday, I will assign a group of roughly five proposals on which we will focus. The following Thursday afternoon, I will invite a motion to authorize Kathy to prepare an ALA response based on the comments that you have posted during the week, with an actual vote on Friday. CC:DA voting members, remember to let me know if you will be unavailable to vote at any time between now and September 18. Richard Guajardo, our webmaster, is in the process of posting separate blog posts for each proposal and discussion paper on the CC:DA website (http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/). if you click on the Working Docs tab, you will see a list of the documents posted so far. You can also access that list directly at: http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?cat=33 All documents are open for comment as soon as they are posted on the blog. You are free to browse the list and begin posting your comments, suggestions, reactions. But please, do focus on the weekly group of documents assigned, and do review and post comments on all of the proposals and discussions papers. Kathy needs your comments to prepare adequate ALA responses. To leave a comment, log in to the website and use the "Leave a Reply" box that appears at the bottom of the post. If you are having difficulties leaving a reply or if you cannot see your comments when you are logged out, please contact Richard at <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] to let him know. List subscribers who are not CC:DA members or liaisons: you are always welcome to contribute to our discussion by sending comments to a voting member, your appropriate liaison, or directly to me. We will glady post your comments on our blog. Our roster at http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?page_id=77 lists the email addresses of our current members and liaisons. I will announce the first group of proposals in a separate message. Thank you in advance. Kathy and I are looking forward to reading your comments on all 28 proposals and discussion papers. Dominique
