At long last, the EGAD is pleased to make available the consolidate community feedback of RiC-CM version 0.1 and a presentation summarizing and describing how we processed the feedback.

Presentation on feedback slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F2M8idFWChwpGsjtcgFTseSli5_VMV6S/view?usp=sharing

Both documents are also available on the EGAD GitHub:

Herewith some context, as summarised in my previous message to the list a couple of months ago.

After releasing RiC-CM 0.1, the EGAD asked the community for feedback. The comment period was from September 2016 to the end of January 2017. 62 individuals, groups, and institutions representing 19 countries and 2 international organizations responded. In analyzing the responses, we identified over 1000 distinct comments. When compiled, it was more than 260 pages (if we were to print it, which we did not!).

Though pleased with the interest and response, the members of EGAD were overwhelmed by the volume. We were not sure exactly how to process the quantity of feedback, making sure to respect the contributions and direct them to meaningful development of RiC.

Kat Timms from Library and Archives Canada (LAC)/Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC), then a member of EGAD, volunteered to analyze the comments, a process that took many months. In the end, she broadly categorized comments by type, and then within some types, into more focused groupings. The end result was over 50 pages. Kat's work necessarily involved a lot of analyses and interpretation.  

Kat presented on the feedback and how she processed it three times in 2017, twice in Canada and once in Rome. We are releasing the Rome presentation.  

The 260 plus pages of the raw data is both prohibitively large to distribute, and it includes personal identifying information for which we did not request permission to make public.
