On 13-Jan-2009, OCLC announced a [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/board/default.htm Review Board of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship] with a charge to: consult with librarians and member representatives as appropriate; review reports, letters and comments including blog and listserv messages from the global library community regarding the revised Policy; and recommend principles of shared data creation and changes in the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that will preserve the community around WorldCat infrastructure and services, and strengthen libraries. The Review Board submitted its [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/FinalReport_ReviewBoard.pdf final report] to OCLC on 22-Jun-2009 recommending that the proposed policy be withdrawn and a Record Use Policy Development Task Force be formed along with a "formal, transparent and well-managed process" to create a new policy. In a [http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/200939.htm news release] posted on 26-Jun-2009, OCLC accepted these recommendations.
On 7-April-2010, the Review Board of Shared Data Curation and Stewardship posted their draft policy for a period of review and comment (see link below).
This page documents the discussion of members of the library community surrounding the revision of the Guidelines and creation of the Policy. It can be edited by anyone who has registered for an account on the Code4Lib wiki. [[Special:Userlogin|Registration]] on the Code4Lib wiki is open to anyone with an e-mail address.
