From the press release:

"The OCLC Board of Trustees has appointed a special Governance Study Committee to conduct a study of OCLC’s governance structure.  The Board will also retain a consulting firm to assist the Committee in the study."

"As OCLC becomes an increasingly global cooperative, we need to adjust our governance to ensure representation and participation by our members around the world," said Lizabeth Wilson, Chair, OCLC Board of Trustees, and Dean of University Libraries, University of Washington.  "This study will review and evaluate current and alternative governance forms for OCLC.  The Committee will recommend a governance structure appropriate to the roles that OCLC is expected to carry out in the next decade."  [RJ]
