IEA ETDE Executive Committee

Among the results of this years Executive Committee meeting was that 1) the ExCo will prepare a docu-ment to IEA's Governing Board about the possibility of ETDE's database ETDEWEB becoming the common informations system for IEA and its Implementing Agreements, and 2) the ExCo approved a policy for member countries' rights in relation to access to ETDEWEB and use of the database's data. At the Technical Working Group meeting, especially three topics were discussed: 1) possible changes to the ETDE web site, 2) new layout of the ETDEWEB interface, and 3) the possibility of introducing subscription-based access to ETDEWEB for organisations in those countries that are not members of ETDE and therefore do not have direct access to the database
