[DDI-users] seeking nominations for temporary working group to propose a restructuring of the DDI Scientific Board

[Jared Lyle]

Dear DDI community,

The DDI Alliance would like to improve the structure and organization of
the Scientific Board, which is the scientific and technical body of the
Alliance.  At the 2019 Annual Meeting
<https://ddialliance.org/sites/default/files/20190601_DDI_Alliance_Scientific_Board_Meeting_Minutes.pdf>
of
the Scientific Board, a temporary working group was approved to propose a
restructuring and to draft changes to the Alliance Bylaws.  This work is to
be completed in advance of the May 2020 annual meeting, when the finalized
proposal will be discussed and voted on.  Participation in the temporary
working group will involve several conference calls and one in-person
meeting.  The temporary working group will be chaired by Ingo Barkow
<https://www.fhgr.ch/en/persons/person/barkow-ingo/>, current Vice Chair of
the Scientific Board.



We are seeking 4-5 participants for the working group.  We are especially
interested in a diverse representation, including individuals new to DDI.
All member institutions may nominate an individual to participate in the
temporary working group.  To submit nominations, please email names to
secretariat at ddialliance.org by 13 December.  The DDI Executive Board will
make the final selection of working group members.



A Birds-of-a-Feather session at the December 3-4 European DDI (EDDI
<http://www.eddi-conferences.eu/ocs/index.php/eddi/eddi19>) User Conference
will include discussion about the temporary working group.  Interested
members attending EDDI are invited to participate in the session.

Thank you,
Jared
