Dear Colleagues in the ESAD IG:
I hope I will be seeing many of you in Barcelona. ESAD is co-sponsoring a
session on data rescue on 6 April, 14:00-15:30, but there should be other
sessions of interest.

In other news: I intend to resign as co-Chair (Dr Candice Lanius is the
other) after P9 as I don’t have time, attention, and financial resources
to attend. I believe the group is important but am concerned that it
doesn’t fit into the model of outputs and recommendations that is RDA’s
mode of operation and it would be great if someone who has good ideas and
time/energy to devote can find more creative ways to engage RDA. While it
is not time intensive unless you want it to be, I do think the group, in
coordination with other WG and IG, could do more.
Because Candice is in the US, we would need a co-chair from outside of
North America. You do not have to be attending P9 to express your
interest. I am happy to answer questions via email, Skype, or in person in
Barcelona.
Best,
Kalpana
