Réunion animée de PCOM à Séoul

Programme Commission - PCOM | 6 September 2016

La réunion de la Commission du Programme de l’ICA (PCOM) a approuvé les Principes de base de HRWG (Groupe de travail sur les Archives et les Droits de l’Homme) en tant que document de travail, a discuté des priorités de PCOM, de ses défis et de ses ressources, approuvé le Plan stratégique, étudié le Plan Marketing de l’ICA et appris les nouvelles initiatives des programmes pour l’Afrique et pour les Nouveaux Professionnels.

PCOM a voté et approuvé l’adoption des Principes de base de HRWG en tant que document de travail de l’ICA soutenu par PCOM. Le Forum National des Archivistes (FAN) livrera les commentaires des archivistes nationaux au début du mois d’octobre 2016.

Les membres de la réunion ont été d’accord pour dire qu’une personne servant de liaison entre les équipes des projets financés et PCOM serait un atout, et ont encouragé les membres de PCOM à se porter volontaires pour jouer ce rôle. Un registre contenant les programmes de PCOM, les rapports et les projets est maintenant disponible et sera bientôt largement accessible.

PCOM’s members discussed the VP Programme's paper on priorities, challenges and resources. The result of that discussion is a renewed emphasis on training coordination and on e-Learning as well as a need to better define the respective roles and responsibilities of expert and interest groups. New expert groups have been were created on:

  • Research Services and Outreach, chair to be determined
  • Legal Matters, chaired by Didier Grange
  • Shared Heritage, chaired by Njörður Sigurðsson

The PCOM Business Plan was presented and accepted by the members.

Christine Trembleau presented the first steps in the implementation of the ICA marketing plan which will eventually translate the strategy into marketing actions. It is crucial to launch new products, many of which emanate from PCOM, in order to increase the visibility of the ICA, thus generating more income and revenue, The visual image of the ICA is to be sharpened.

Cecile Fabris reported to the meeting that there are currently eight bursary holders under the New Professionals' Programme participating in the Congress in Seoul, . As well as the traditional programme, the ICA has introduced a mentoring scheme, in which mentors support the new professionals by helping them to network during the Congress.

PCOM also received a report on Africa programme by James Lowry who highlighted the cooperation with universities teaching archival disciplines in Africa as well as plans to revitalise some of the African branches.

Normand Charbonneau from Library and Archives Canada took charge of the meeting for the first time in Seoul, as Vice President Programme. PCOM membership will change this year as five of its members step down.
