Yes, these discussions, over 500 lengthy ones, certainly are on the JSC website. But I was hoping for something more summarizing in nature, yet not so brief as just a listing by date of the documents. Jack Jack Wu Franciscan University of Steubenville j...@franciscan.edu

So my general question is. Is there another way to keep up with the changes? RDA Toolkit seems little help unless you read the entire kit every so often, clearly not practical. Discussions on this list seem to be the next best alternative. Is there a summary every so often of changes of any consequence that one should be aware of?

The issue you refer to was one of several identified by the Technical Group on the adoption of RDA in France. Many of the issues identified by this group were discussed by EURIG (the European RDA Interest Group) at the EURIG Technical Meeting, hosted by BNF, in Paris on 27 January 2012. There was a consensus at the meeting that it would be desirable for RDA to provide alternative instructions that would not mandate any particular order of elements when constructing an access point. However, EURIG has not prioritised this work and no proposal has been put to JSC and none is currently planned.
