[Robert Chen]

All–
I’m pleased to report that our session at the April plenary in
Barcelona has been accepted, and we have been scheduled for a 90
minute session on Friday 7th April, Breakout 7, 09:00 – 10:30.
The overall preliminary programme is online at:
https://www.rd-alliance.org/plenaries/rda-ninth-plenary-meeting-barcelon…
We should try to update the session description and agenda in the near
future. The current version is at:
https://www.rd-alliance.org/ig-rdacodata-legal-interoperability-rda-9th-…
Please let me know if you would be willing to present in one of the
listed topics or have a suggestion for changing the topics.
To discuss this in more detail, we would like to proceed with the full
IG telecon on Monday, February 20 at 9:30 am EST. We’re sorry that
there’s not an ideal time for everyone, but hope that most of you can
make at least part of the call.
We will need to talk about the endorsement process for the Principles
and Guidelines, the Barcelona agenda and participation, potential test
cases, and outreach/training opportunities. We’ll send the dial-in
information and a more detailed agenda out next week.
Let us know if you have any questions. Cheers, Bob
