Changes to RSC Membership

The RDA Steering Committee announces several changes to its membership:

Kathy Glennan began a four-year term as RSC Chair on January 1, 2019.

Gordon Dunsire has been appointed as Technical Team Liaison Officer, in a two-year term that concludes at the end of December 2020. The Technical Team is in the process of being formed; inquiries to techo@rdatoolkit.org are welcome.

William Leonard concluded his membership on the RSC at the end of 2018. Bill served from 2012-2017 as the RSC representative from the Canadian Committee on Cataloguing; since 2017 he has continued to bring his expertise to the RSC as a co-opted member. Bill has provided invaluable service by maintaining the RDA-to-MARC map for authority records. The RSC will miss his quiet humor, his insightful participation, and his deep understanding of standards development, and thanks him for his service to the cataloguing community.

The appointment of Ebe Kartus as Wider Community Engagement Officer has been extended to a second two-year term. Her work in this role will now conclude at the end of December 2021.

The appointment of Daniel Paradis as RDA Translations Team Liaison Officer has been extended to a second two-year term. His work in this role will now conclude at the end of December 2021.

The RSC will be recruiting soon for an RDA Examples Editor to succeed Kate James, whose term ends in December 2019. More information will be posted shortly.
