Organisational Advisory Board (private)

Organisational Advisory Board (private)

This is the private working space for the Organisational Advisory Board.

Charter

The Organisational Advisory Board is a sub-committee of the whole OA, acting as an executive committee representing the interests of the Organisational Members.

In more detail, the purpose of the OAB is to ensure that Organisational Members’ inputs and needs play a role in guiding the programs and activities of RDA. The OA, with meetings open to all OA members, meets monthly by teleconference. The OAB meets at the time of the bi-annual RDA plenaries to provide guidance on RDA business operations, oversight of Interest Groups (IG) and Working Groups (WG), and outreach to the larger community. Specifically, the OAB is charged with:

1. Providing organisational and operations advice either at the request of the Secretary General or the RDA Council or to express issues raised among the organisational membership with regard to the directions, processes, and mechanisms of RDA to the Secretary General and/or Council.
2. Providing input to the Secretary General and the Secretariat on organisational needs; for example, with the goal of encouraging the formation of Interest Groups or Working Groups or other actions that could be taken by RDA to meet organisational needs.
3. Interacting with the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) during the review of IG and WG proposals to provide guidance on overlap and synergies with other RDA and community efforts.
4. Encouraging and facilitating the adoption of relevant RDA outputs among organisational members to drive broad adoption.
5. Collaborating with the TAB to review mid-point and final Working Group Recommendations and outputs, and to advise on how implementable proposed outputs are likely to be. OAB provides guidance on organisational needs and partnership and pilot opportunities, with the goal of encouraging broad community adoption of RDA outputs.
6. Assisting with Plenary programming and other outreach activities.
7. Developing of test-beds to support WG pilot projects and distribution of outputs to the community.
