[Asha CODATA]

Dear CODATA members; Dear Participants in CODATA activities (Task Groups,
Working Groups and other initiatives); Dear Colleagues in the CODATA
Community;

A virtual CODATA General Assembly is being convened on 25 June 2020,
11:00-13:00 UTC. Please find the related letter from the CODATA President
Barend Mons attached.

GoToWebinar using the following link:

The first purpose of this virtual General Assembly will be to consider the
Officers’ and Executive Committee’s recommendation to postpone the
in-person CODATA General Assembly which is currently planned for 24 October
2020 and to reschedule it to be held in conjunction with International Data
Week, Seoul, Korea, 8-11 November 2021. This also requires approval of
necessary points to allow the continuation of Executive Committee, Officers
and Task Group terms to the next GA and the Delegates will be voting on.

The virtual General Assembly also provides an opportunity to brief you on
CODATA strategic activities, including the ISC CODATA Decadal Programme:
Making Data Work for Cross-Domain Grand Challenges.
