Charge:
The responsibility of this Board (ACB) is to guide the development of the Aquatic Commons digital repository for IAMSLIC. Specific tasks include identifying appropriate metadata standards, designing for maximum usability, identifying content, resolving interoperability issues, and managing public relations including future training needs. Although members of the ACB are appointed by the IAMSLIC Executive Board, any task forces or working groups may be independently constituted by the Aquatic Commons Board. The ACB is also responsible for identifying partners for content development and ongoing funding.
