One thing that the RDAP Board would like to improve upon is communication with its community. To this end, we will be sending out short newsletters regularly to better update you all on what the Board and committees are working on. Conference The RDAP Summit is scheduled for May 15-16, 2019 in Miami, FL, with a workshop day on Friday, May 17. The program has been finalized and is available. Registration is $209 and is NOW LIVE! Thanks to the conference chairs and committee for all their hard work on putting together this exciting program. RDAP's sponsorship committee has raised $25k to help support the conference and keep the registration cost low. We have received sponsorship from several vendors and professional organizations, but we could use a few more sponsorship dollars from academic institutions; please see the email from Trisha Adamus on 2019-02-26 for more information. And thank you to the Sponsorship committee for their hard work! RDAP Association Business The RDAP Association Board has been busy working out the logistics of establishing RDAP as an association. We now have our own bank account and are finalizing paperwork to set RDAP Association up as a 501(c)(3) organization - we're already incorporated in the state of Ohio and are almost ready to submit the relevant paperwork to the IRS. Part of the 501(c)(3) process was to develop bylaws, which you might have seen a previous message about on the RDAP listserv. Thank you to Amy Koshoffer (Treasurer) and Daureen Nesdill (Bylaws Officer) for all of their work in this area. The RDAP Association is making progress towards being a membership organization but, while we are now offering membership, we will not be charging a membership fee for the next year. Instead, we are asking for a donation from you based on what you feel membership in the RDAP Association is worth. Donations will help the RDAP Association with startup expenses, such as our 501(c)(3) application fees and conference production costs. More information on membership is available here: https://rdapassociation.org/membership/. Much appreciation to Christie Wiley (Membership Officer) for her work in this area. The RDAP Association's Board would also like to extend a hearty thank you to all who have been engaging in our requests for feedback or voting- your thoughts and choices drive our development and we couldn't do it without you! Logo As we are in the process of building out and planning for the sustainable future of our community, we are faced with difficult decisions of how to prioritize infrastructure, community resources, and branding. One of those difficult decisions has been whether or not to purchase the logo voted on at RDAP18 from ASIS&T. After much discussion and a leadership vote, RDAP leadership feels that the cost of the proposed logo from RDAP18 is prohibitive during these early stages of building our association. Leadership feels that the cost for retaining the logo could be better spent on building community resources and investing in infrastructure. Though we have chosen to move forward without it, we want to be sure to acknowledge and thank the many incredible volunteers who gave their time to help create the previous logo choices for the RDAP community. We also want to extend our thanks to the RDAP community for being involved in these logo discussions (and voting) for the last few years. Moving forward, we understand that branding is important for a professional association and for the immediate future we will continue to use our current logo, that was created by one of our long-time community members- Carolyn Bishoff! Given time constraints and workload balance during this transition year, we will encourage next year's leadership to move forward with designing and choosing a logo for the community. Upcoming The Education and Resources committee is hard at work planning another webinar for the spring. Stay tuned for more information! The Publishing committee is working on logistics for another RDAP special issue in JeSLIB (our first special issue is available). To that end, there will be a workshop at the Summit on Friday May 17 focused on turning a presentation or poster into a paper. Keep an eye out for information on voting for next year's RDAP leadership, which is the next big logistical issue for the RDAP Association Board to figure out. This will coincide with a call for volunteers to serve on the Board and as Action committee chairs. We hope you will participate in these activities to help the RDAP Association grow. More Information & Contact The RDAP Association website is continually being refined to have the look and feel of an association website, with more content being continually added. Thank you Marketing committee for making the website look so great! If you have questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to any Board member or email RDAPBoard at gmail.com.

Proposals from the Americas will be given first consideration. Important dates The Open Repositories Steering Committee is accepting Expressions of Interest (EoI) to host the OR2021 conference until April 30th, 2019. Shortlisted sites will be notified by the end of May 2019 and invited to submit a full proposal. Background Candidate institutions must have the ability to host at least a four-day conference with up to 450 attendees (see the list of past conferences which includes the number of attendees where available). This includes appropriate access to conference facilities, lodging, and transportation, as well as the ability to manage a range of supporting services (food services, internet services, and conference social events; conference website; management of registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate institutions and their local arrangements committee must have the means to support the costs of producing the conference through attendee registration and independent fundraising. In addition, candidate institutions should consider the OR Statement on Inclusion and Openness as well as our Code of Conduct to determine whether there are conditions in the local environment that might conflict with these positions or prevent travel for large portions of the attendees. Fuller guidance is provided in the Open Repositories Conference Handbook on the Open Repositories wiki. Expressions of Interest Guidelines Organisations interested in proposing to host the OR2021 conference should follow the steps listed below: 1. Expressions of Interest (EoIs) must be received by April 30th, 2019. Please direct these EoIs and any enquiries to OR Steering Committee Chair Elin Stangeland - elin.stangeland at ub.uio.no. 2. As noted above, the Open Repositories wiki has a set of pages at Open Repositories Conference Handbook which offers guidelines for organising an Open Repositories conference. Candidate institutions should pay particular attention to the pages listed at "Preparing a bid" before submitting an EoI. 3. The EoI should be fairly brief (1-2 pages, or email length), and must include: 1. the name of the institution (or institutions in the case of a joint bid) 2. an email address for the first point of contact 3. the proposed location for the conference venue with a brief paragraph describing the local amenities that would be available to delegates, including its proximity to a reasonably well-served airport 4. The OR Steering Committee will review proposals and may seek advice from additional reviewers. Following the review, one or more institutions will be invited to submit a detailed proposal. 5. Invitations to submit a detailed proposal will be issued by the end of May 2019; institutions whose interest will not be taken up will also be notified at that time. The invitations sent out will provide a timeline for submitting a formal proposal and details of additional information available to the shortlisted sites for help in the preparation of their bid. The OR Steering Committee will be happy to answer specific queries whilst proposals are being prepared. About Open Repositories Since 2006 Open Repositories has hosted an annual conference that brings together users and developers of open digital repository platforms.

The EB provides a wonderful opportunity to serve on a national committee of a professional association and garner some leadership experience. The EB is in the exciting position of leading a brand new professional organization and guiding its continued development. The 2018/19 EB has provided the foundational layer of infrastructure, and we can't wait to see how next year's EB works towards a strategic plan, sustainable membership model, and continued support for our burgeoning community through educational resources and training, publishing, and networking opportunities. Please consider becoming a member of the RDAP Association today so that you may vote in the 2019 elections. In addition, please consider nominating yourself as an Executive Board candidate (a nomination form will be sent out to members soon). Membership Last year RDAP became independent from ASIS&T and began its journey to become a self-reliant community for data information professionals. Over the course of this year RDAP leadership has been working hard to develop the high-quality annual summit you have come to expect and to instantiate RDAP as a not-for-profit association. We have drafted the RDAP Association values statement, written up our by-laws, and incorporated RDAP as an association in the state of Ohio. In addition, we have worked with many of you to support our community including offering multiple webinars, maintaining an active listserv, and sponsoring a special issue of JeSLIB with articles developed from RDAP 2018 Summit. As we approach our second year as an independent organization, we would like to ask you to become an official voting member of the RDAP Association. For this year only we are not charging a membership fee. Instead, we are asking for a donation from you based on what you feel membership in the RDAP Association is worth. We will continue to work hard over the next year to demonstrate the value of an RDAP Association membership and to listen to your thoughts and suggestions for how to do so. In the meantime, we ask that you consider making a donation to help the RDAP Association with startup expenses, like our 501(c)(3) application fees and conference production costs. Please donate what you can to help support this volunteer run, professional association, that focuses on data practitioners. Thank you! Become an RDAP member today Elections RDAP will soon launch an election for a new Executive Board for the 2019-20 term. Voting will be limited to members only, so be sure to sign up for membership to RDAP (it's free for this year!) as soon as you can. Please consider running for a position on the Executive Board. As a newly independent community focused association, RDAP's success depends upon people stepping up to serve in these positions. Serving on the Executive Board is an opportunity to help shape a young and dynamic organization and it looks pretty good on your CV! An announcement and a nomination form will be sent out to members soon. Executive Board elections are separate from volunteer leadership opportunities on the RDAP action committees. Solicitations for volunteers for the action committees will take place at the 2019 RDAP Summit and soon afterwards online. A full list of positions on the RDAP Executive Board and action committees, as well as current office holders, can be found on the RDAP website. Let us know if you have any questions!

Sent: Friday, March 22, 2019 7:54 AM To: RESEARCH-DATAMAN at JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: VU Library Live "Rethinking the Academic Reward System" *apologies for cross-posting* Dear colleagues, Last week at the Library of the VU University in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, we discussed how to change the academic rewards and incentive structure together with a group of four leading Dutch academics, including the President of NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research - the main funding agency in the Netherlands. It was an interesting and lively discussion that is now available as a podcast via https://soundcloud.com/vu-library-live/ep5-rethinking-academic-reward-systems. Although it focused mainly on what's happening in the Netherlands, it may still be of interest to those outside the Netherlands who are interested in this topic of academic rewards and how to change it to enable open science. In the recording (around 07:09), Prof. Stan Gielen, the President of NWO, says: "I'm now a leader of a European work group to work towards a new system for rewards and recognition of the scientists. So, I will seek agreement between all European funding agencies, including the EU and ERC, to come up with general guidelines about how we should evaluate scientists." Of particular interest to this group, we discussed how to reward researchers for the investments they make in data collection and data management, and also discussed how to support researchers with data management. At some point during the discussion (at around 41:49 in the recording), Prof. Stan Gielen (President of NWO) says: "We are making a new transition. And we need data stewards,". I hope you'll find it interesting.
