OCLC Members Council approves Global Council bylaws, Membership and Governance Protocols resolution
OCLC Members Council conducted its first-ever virtual meeting February 9–11 to discuss opportunities and challenges confronting the global information community, to learn more about collaborative services, and to continue the transition to a Global Council and Regional Councils.
"Although extensive planning and communication have gone into all of our preparations for this meeting, this is a test to learn more about virtual meeting technology and its applicability to our Global Council and Regional Council meetings going forward," said Members Council President Loretta Parham, Library Director and CEO, Robert W. Woodruff Library at the Atlanta University Center, in her opening remarks.
In the coming year, the current Members Council will transform into a Global Council that connects with Regional Councils around the world. Some of the meetings in the new governance structure are planned as virtual meetings.
