Dear Carl and PCC colleagues,
No RDA elements should appear in records and no new RDA records should appear in the LC/NAF before October 1, 2010 (announced at BIBCO and CONSER OpCo meetings in early May).

Subject: the MARC Format for Authority Records
Dear Colleagues,
OCLC's Technical Bulletin 258 contains a section 2. Authority Record Changes. It includes fields like 046 for encoding a person's birth and death dates and 374 for a person's occupation.
At the beginning of the section it states "Do not implement authority changes until NACO testing is complete." What appears to be the timeline for NACO testing and then implementation?
