Four documents, some quite substantive, have been posted recently on the RSC website:

The migration of RDA Toolkit and the original RDA Toolkit to new servers will not occur during the week of October 25th, as previously planned. It is not clear when exactly the migration will occur, but it is expected to move before the end of 2021. You can learn more about the migration and its impact here.

The RSC has opened the application process for the next chair of the RDA Steering Committee; applicants must either be current members of the RSC or one of its working groups. The application deadline is 29 October 2021. The goal is to both identify the Chair-Elect and obtain the RDA Board's ratification by early December.

The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is in the process of creating four new Working Groups to support the improvement of the RDA standard and invites expressions of interest to join these groups from those who have expertise.

Each Working Group will be active in 2022 and 2023 as a two-year, task-and-finish assignment. Each Working Group is intended to have international membership.

This website--rda-rsc.org, the web presence of the RDA Steering Committee and RDA Board--and rdatoolkit.org, home to RDA news and information on subscribing to and translating RDA Toolkit as well as the free trial sign up form, will migrate to a new server on October 1, 2021.

The migration of RDA Toolkit and the original RDA Toolkit to new servers is currently scheduled for some time during the week of October 25th. You can learn more about the migration and its impact here.

13 October 2021: The final agenda is now available. There were no substantive changes from the draft agenda.
