Since this past summer, the Authorities and Identities Advisory Group (A&I AG) has been working on revisions to how we coordinate NACO activities at Yale, while also searching for a new NACO Coordinator. In our conversations about the search, we encountered
similar feedback from across Technical Services units, that the responsibilities of the NACO Coordinator,

as they are defined</a>, can place an unsustainable workload on that individual.</div>

To remedy this, we have redefined the role to focus on communications between Yale and the PCC about NACO operations, monitoring the NACO and PCCLIST listservs, and attending the A&I AG meetings to report on NACO activities. This role is supported by the NACO
Statistics Reporter, who is responsible for collecting and reporting YUL and Law NACO statistics, except for those contributed to funnel projects. The advisory group has also increased its involvement with NACO to balance this change in responsibilities, taking
a more active role in coordinating trainings and pairing reviewers and reviewees. These changes were approved by the Metadata Steering Committee in September.</div>
