Athens Declaration Policy Review Committee (1) May 2025 Reviewed the Athens Declaration and Policy Framework before wider sharing, looking for major problems, omissions, or needed edits
Vancouver Transition Committee (2) October-December 2025 Considered the transition from policy document to active policy work, including engagement, expectations, constraints, procedures, language, timeframe, and strategy
CDRANet Permanent Advisory Committee February 2026-present Provides long-term guidance on how CDRANet operates

(1) Participants in the Athens Declaration drafting process (which took place from October 2024-May 2025) are not listed since this was a full group activity rather than a committee assignment (approximately 85 of CDRANet’s 275 members contributed).
(2) The Athens Declaration was renamed the Vancouver Declaration in October of 2025 in anticipation of our Fall 2026 meeting in Vancouver where governments would sign the Declaration.
