RDA Outputs survey and BoF at Plenary 11

By Stefanie Kethers

Dear all,
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) launched in 2013, and the Outputs of the
RDA community are driving changes all over the data landscape. However,
there is much more that can be done to support greater impact from RDA
Outputs (by which we mean both Recommendations and Supporting Outputs).
Recently, a group of RDA members from different stakeholder groups
including Secretariat, group chairs, TAB, OA, and RDA/US came together to
discuss how we can work with the RDA community to advance the uptake of RDA
Outputs.

RE: [rda-oab] Re: [rda-oab] Council Sustainability and Funding subcommittee - 1st meeting...

By Fotis Karagiannis

Dear Jason,
A quick update on this. We discussed this issue in the secretariat and I got a better understanding. The spam e-mail is not sent by bots rather by real persons! So people register as individual members to the RDA website and then also subscribe to some organic groups (WGs, IGs, governance groups, etc.) and send these messages.
The registration process is not moderated, so the account monitoring has to be done manually.
We will see what we can do, we will discuss this further in the secretariat.
Kind regards,
Fotis
