The Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs (PTCP) Division has decided to lift the cap on attendance at the Subject Editorial Meeting this coming Friday. It will assess the impact of having no limit on attendance following the meeting and announce PTCP’s future plans. The quarterly meeting is not an information session, but an opportunity to discuss subject proposals. If unlimited attendance results in curbing discussion, PTCP will need to rethink having a cap on attendance.   

Please send an email to policy@loc.gov to request a link to the meeting.

Agenda

• Statement on proposal to change Trans-exclusionary radical feminism to Gender-critical feminism
• Discussion of SHM instruction sheet H 1922 Offensive words
• Discussion of proposal for People of color
