Gordon, All, Thanks for your response - I think your suggestion is a bit different from what I had envisaged. I had started writing this before yours arrived and focuses more on the joint aspects of the work - let me know if it suits what you had in mind. We have 90 minutes and this adds up to 85: 1) Welcome and Introduction - Robina? 5 mins 2) Background to RDA and DC development. (Separate presentations from Gordon and Diane) 15 mins each 3) Current RDA/DC work plan (Diane and/or Gordon) 20 mins altogether 4) Future developments (Diane and/or Gordon) 15 mins altogether 5) Discussion - Robina to moderate? 15 mins Item 2 can clearly have two separately focussed strands from the different perspectives. Item 3 starts with the London meeting and brings the story up to date describing the joint work proposed and where it is now. Item 4 could again have separate strands - Gordon doing a more practical strand looking at what it will mean on the ground for AACR library cataloguers and Diane could do something more futuristic. ? There is a deadline of 24th June to send the conference organisers a short description of the session (purpose and intended audience), the agenda (bullets) with list of presentations, special technical requirements. I am just composing a paragraph for the short description and will circulate shortly for comment.

I have enough stuff from the RDA presentations at the London meeting, plus my own, to put together the RDA p-p-f (I think we'll need to present the parallel-track futures for both RDA and DC before going on to London meeting and collaborative/convergent futures).
