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

[Jared Lyle]

Dear DDI community,

I am pleased to announce the members of the temporary working group to
propose a restructuring of the Scientific Board.  Members include:

   - Jane Fry (Carleton University and DDI Training Working Group co-chair)
   - Dan Gillman (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
   - Jon Johnson (CLOSER and DDI Technical Committee vice-chair)
   - Ron Nakao (Stanford)
   - Hilde Orton (NSD)
   - Nicolas Sauger (Sciences Po)
   - Wendy Thomas (Minnesota Population Center and DDI Technical Committee
   chair)

The goal is to restructure the Scientific Board so it is active and engaged
throughout the year -- beyond the annual meeting -- and optimally
functioning as the scientific and technical body of the Alliance.  Ingo
Barkow <https://www.fhgr.ch/en/persons/person/barkow-ingo/>, current vice
chair of the Scientific Board, will chair the working group; Achim
Wackerow, chair of the Scientific Board, and I will also participate.

Participants will engage in several conference calls and one in-person
meeting.  Work will be completed in advance of the May 2020 annual meeting,
when the finalized proposal will be discussed and voted on.  Thanks to all
participants for their service.
