RLG CommitteeThe RLG Committee is a committee of the OCLC Board of Trustees. Its overall purpose is to assist and advise the board in its understanding of the OCLC Programs and Research division agenda and the potential corporate and community impact of the group's work. The RLG Committee makes recommendations to the board regarding program directors, work agenda, staffing, budget, and RLG Programs partner dues levels as needed. It also reflects the interests, programmatic needs, and priorities of RLG Programs partners as shaped and represented by the RLG Partnership Council. Further, the RLG Committee:
The committee attends the annual meetings of RLG Programs. CompositionThe RLG Committee has up to six members. For the initial (July 2006) committee, three members were appointed by and from the former RLG Board of Directors and three members were appointed by OCLC's Board of Trustees. The chair of the committee is the former chair of the RLG Board of Directors. Beginning July 1, 2008, and for three years thereafter, no more than half of the members of the RLG Committee will be appointed by the OCLC Board of Trustees and no more than half of the members will be appointed by the RLG Partnership Council. There will always be at least two OCLC Board of Trustees members on the committee; remaining members of the RLG Committee will not be required to be members of the OCLC Board of Trustees. Update July 2008: In June, 2008, a new RLG Partnership Council was elected and terms commenced on 1 July, 2008. Consequently, membership in the RLG Committee was modified slightly, reflecting the changing composition of the Council. Current members – 2008
