Canadian creators in sharing expertise, to facilitate the digitization,
preservation, and discovery of Canadian heritage. The NHDS Advisory
Committee is accountable to the broader GLAM community which it endeavours
to represent. The Chair of the Advisory Committee reports on its activities
to the NHDS Executive Committee.

Membership in the NHDS Advisory Committee is limited to Canadian public or
not-for-profit GLAM
(gallery, library, archives, and museum) organizations, committed to, and
with a demonstrated investment

Expressions of interest will be reviewed and considered by the NHDS
Executive Committee to ensure representation and balance of expertise on
the committee.

The NHDS Advisory Committee meets on a quarterly basis via teleconference.
A rough estimate of the time commitment required for serving on the group
follows:

4 teleconferences * 2 hours =

hours
1 hour prep-time per meeting
=                                                                    4 hours
*Individual work outside of meetings (2 hours * 12 months) =
      24 hours*

Total Annual Commitment
=                                                                       36
