Joint PCOM and CITRA Bureau meeting

This morning PCOM and CITRA met to review this year’s CITRA and to talk about the programme for 2010. 

Nolda Romer-Kenepa opened the meeting. She expressed her satisfaction with CITRA 2009. She said in particular that the new format of parallel and plenary sessions had worked very well. She said that she realized that this had required much organization and preparation but that the output had been tremendous. She would therefore like to continue with this format for next year’s CITRA in Oslo. Furthermore she said that she would like CITRA to be more open to allow others- for example young professionals- to participate in the conference. Nolda also said that she was happy with the conclusions presented at the closing session yesterday afternoon of the CITRA professional programme. She expressed her hope that the follow up on the conclusions and recommendations will be practical and solutions driven.

In 2011 the CITRA will be hosted by Spain, and will take place in Toledo.

PCOM and CITRA members discussed the professional program for 2010. The theme of the next CITRA will explore digital records, access and trust.

Lew Bellardo and Nolda Romer-Kenepa felt that the involvement of the young professionals in CITRA 2009 had been a success and expressed the need to involve young professionals in Oslo.
