On July 27, the CDISC Global User Network
(CGUN) was formally established, following several months of collaboration
with representatives from many CDISC User Networks from across the globe.
The CDISC Global User Network consists of a chairperson, the leaders for
each Regional User Network, and the coordinators of the Organization, Education,
and Communication Committees. Dan Godoy (AstraZeneca) was elected
as the first CGUN Chair for a period of one year. All Regional User
Network Leaders are permanent members. The new CGUN will have, among others,
the following key objectives as part of its mission:
• Serve as a bridge between CDISC and users
• Provide CDISC teams with examples and
feedback from users testing the standards
• Provide CDISC with a pool of experts when
new initiatives are being launched
• Perform a coordinating role across all
Regional User Networks in terms of Education and Communication
Regional User Networks have been popping
up both in the U.S. and Europe as grass-roots organizations. Currently
they are found in:
1. SF
Bay area
2. "Atlantic"
(NY area)
3. Boston
area
4. Chicago
5. Delaware
Valley
6. "Heartland"
(midwest)
7. RTP
8. Seattle
9. Washington
DC
Europe has user groups based on language:
1. Nordic
2. French
3. German
4. Italian
5. English
RTP has been heavily involved in the formation
of the CGUN, with membership on the overall committee and the Organization
and Education subteams.
Stay tuned for the roll-out of the CGUN website
scheduled for the near future. This site will provide a place to post our
user group calendar, presentations, etc. as well as allow us to view other
groups' materials. If all goes as planned, we'll eventually move off the
yahoo group scheme and use this as our main web presence.
