    1. The Core Trustworthy Data Repositories (TDRs) Requirements and Procedures that form the foundation of the CoreTrustSeal certification standard are RDA Recommendations. A review of the CoreTrustSeal took place in 2019 to define the Requirements for the period 2020–2022, focussing on feedback from applicants, communications and outreach activities, and an open review period. This feedback was incorporated into revisions of the Requirements, Extended Guidance, and Glossary, with final versions of these documents made available in November 2019 and applications against the revised requirements accepted from 1 January 2020. Although the number, structure, and content of the Requirements remain stable for 2020–2022, the IG Co-chairs believe it is of interest to the RDA community—as stakeholders in the Core TDRs Requirements and Procedures—to learn at the P15 breakout about the review process and the principal changes made.
     
    2. An update was given at P14 on a white paper outlining the TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) Principles. At that time, the white paper had been through two rounds of review by the RDA community, and its authorship increased to 18 people: expanding beyond the CoreTrustSeal Board to the data repository community at large. It was announced at P14 that the white paper would not go through a third comment period, but rather would be finalized. The authors plan not only to complete the white paper, but also produce a full journal article. The IG’s breakout at P15 will be used to give a further update on the status of these documents, which we hope will be in a position for community endorsement. 
    3. Although the Core TDRs Requirements are aimed at domain-specific repositories, both generalist repositories and technical service providers also must be part of the trustworthy data landscape. At P14, the IG presented the major issues faced by generalist repositories when trying to meet the Core TDRs Requirements, as well as how CoreTrustSeal is attempting to resolve these issues. Following the breakout, a subcommittee of the CoreTrustSeal Board met at P14, and started to work on a concrete plan for the certification of generalist repositories and technical service providers based on the fruitful discussions with attendees at the IG session. The solutions proposed by the CoreTrustSeal Board will be presented at P15, with the RDA community encouraged to give feedback and help refine them.
