This will be a fantastic chance to hear directly from RSC Chair Elect Robert L. Maxwell and RDA publisher James Hennelly now that the countdown clock is ticking<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/news/rsc/waking-countdown>. This is a repeat of a webinar recently run at a timezone better suited for us. In it they will describe what is happening this year as we build up to the withdrawal of Original RDA as a supported project in May 2027. Where will the Original instructions go? What about Policy Statements and local annotations? And what do you need to do if your institution has still to make the leap to Original RDA? There will also be the chance to ask any questions at the end. I highly recommend attending if you can make the time. Please circulate to anybody who may be interested, Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. You can use the mailing list or reach me directly at jack@rdatoolkit.org<mailto:jack@rdatoolkit.org> Kind regards, Jack Jack Ennis Butler Oceania region representative to the RDA Steering Committee
