Dear IASA colleagues, 

I'd like to formally announce the new Executive Board of IASA, which officially began its tenure at the General Assembly on Tuesday during the joint, virtual conference with partners FIAT/IFTA. Thanks to Peter Laurence, for chairing the Nominating Committee along with Gabriele Fröschl and Grace Koch. I'm pleased and looking forward to working with the new board over the next three years. 

President:
Tre Berney

Dear IASA Members,

In preparation for the Conference General Assembly on 27 October 2020 15.00-17.30 GMT, I am writing to inform and request your approval of two items that I will propose and discuss at the General Assembly. As our GA is virtual this year, I am sending you this message in advance to streamline the voting process. The Executive Board seeks approval to create two new committees. All current IASA committees and sections are focused on the field of audiovisual archiving. We seek to create two new committees that support the operations and agenda of IASA itself.

I am pleased to announce that the following sessions at the upcoming IASA – FIAT/IFTA World Conference will have interpretation services.

26.10.2020 Opening Plenary 13:30-14:30 GMT Available in Spanish and French via Interprefy

26.10.2020 Keynote Address 15:00-16:00  GMT Available in Spanish and French via Interprefy

27.10.2020 Keynote Address 13:30 – 14:30 GMT Available in Spanish and French via Interprefy

Announcing the new version. I am pleased to report that a (slightly) revised version of IASA-TC 06 Guidelines for the Preservation of Video Recordings is now available for free download at the IASA website. An initial version of TC 06 had been posted in 2018, with an invitation to interested specialists to comment.
