Happy New Year, and Happy New DPC too …
The DPC is owned by and accountable to its members so each January we invite nominations to the Executive Board which is responsible for corporate oversight, and volunteers for the Sub-Committees who review and guide our work.

Added on 9 January 2024
DPC has now confirmed the program of meetings for its Executive Board and Representative Council in 2024, as well as the Annual General Meeting.
The Representative Council is the ‘general assembly’ of the Coalition. It is formed by representatives of all our full members and it owns the DPC’s Strategy. In that role it receives the reports of DPC's 5 thematic subcommittees. The Executive Board is a smaller body recruited from the Representative Council and responsible for corporate governance.

It’s time for DPC staff to take a break. It’s been a tremendous year.
DPC’s mission is a welcoming and inclusive global community around digital preservation. We are deeply encouraged by the confidence members put in the DPC, and in each other. We’re now active in 24 countries with 21 new DPC Members and 3 new Supporters since the start of the year. This year also saw a reboot of the DPC Supporters Program, another action packed World Digital Preservation Day, and the kick-off of new DPC Working Groups.
