A number of important decisions concerning description are announced. Also, in a revolutionary change of approach, "The JSC intends to make the Draft of Part 1 of RDA publicly available on its Web site in December. Drafts of the remaining parts will be added approximately every six months, according to the timeline posted on the JSC Web site. Other new documents to be issued soon include RDA FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), a revised RDA Prospectus, and an updated JSC Strategic Plan.
Publication of RDA is planned for 2008."
