[DCRM-L] RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group charge

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Nina,

It looks good. I'd like to see a "Comment" section added, that clarifies the relationship of the output of the CV group and BSC. Something that captures the idea that BSC won't be approving every new or changed term, but is responsible for the overall CV (the editorial group and/or the vocabularies themselves) 

Comment: The Bibliographic Standards Committee has general oversight of the work of the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group.

Colleagues:

I hope you are all doing well

For those of you who weren't at ALA last month--or for those of you who were but perhaps unaware of this, the Bibliographic Standards Committee wants to formalize the Controlled Vocabularies group. During the BSC meeting, a draft charge was discussed and a number of edits were suggested. It also became obvious at the Executive Committee meeting the following Monday, that although both BSC and PubComm approved the co-chair idea for CV, calling them "co-chairs" confused the issue since the new editorial group formation/charge wasn't approved. We decided to table the final approval for co-editors from Exec until the group is approved. Ryan Hildebrand has been identified as the technical editor (PubComm) and Jane Carpenter has been identified as the content editor (BSC).

I have attached the revised draft charge and also pasted it below.

If you have any comments, questions, or opinions on this, please let me know by Friday, July 18th. I will put up a vote on ALA Connect after that date.

Thanks

Nina
