Ingo Barkow, Jared Lyle, and Joachim Wackerow presented a Webinar on 24 November 2020 to discuss the upcoming changes to the DDI Scientific Board and answer questions. A recording of the Webinar is now available on the DDI Alliance YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RB3ANFvcnwc
The DDI Scientific Board proposes the scientific work plan to the membership for approval and facilitates the scientific and technical work activities of the DDI Alliance. As announced with the recent DDI Bylaws changes, the new Scientific Board will be composed of seven voting members elected by the Members of the Alliance. Representatives from Members and Associate Members of the Alliance are eligible to serve as elected members of the Scientific Board. A majority (4 out of 7) of the elected members of the Scientific Board must be from Member Organizations. No Member or Associate Member shall have more than one representative serving on the Scientific Board at the same time. For the initial election, three members will be elected for two-year terms and four for four-year terms. Terms will start on 1 January 2021 and run through June 2023 and June 2025, respectively.
