Other business Concerns were raised about the consequences and implications of the 3R project and about the short timeframe anticipated for the transition between the current version of the RDA Toolkit and the future version. The Executive Committee prepared a statement to the RDA Board and RSC raising our concerns before the RSC Madrid meeting (http://www.rda- rsc.org/sites/all/files/EURIG%20Statement%20to%20the%203R%20Project% 20-%20October%202017.pdf ) Answer was received from the chair of RDA Board, Simon Berney-Edwards on behalf of RSC, RDA Board and the copyright holders addressing the recommendations in the statement.
