RSC Meeting in October 2021

The October 2021 RDA Steering Committee (RSC) meeting will be a virtual meeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This virtual meeting will span two weeks--12-15 October and 18-22 October--and will use a mix of asynchronous and synchronous (video) meeting styles. Three video calls will be scheduled during these two weeks for interactive discussions, with two in executive session and one as a public session.

It is not possible to have observers at the asynchronous parts of the meeting due to software constraints.

Charlene will begin as the WCEO-Elect on September 1, 2021 with a four-month training period that overlaps with Ebe’s term.
