Due to the COVID-19 global outbreak and health and social measures imposed by UK authorities, UKSG 2020 has been cancelled. However, a distant meeting of EDItEUR’s ICEDIS group for serial publishing will be held on the afternoon of April 1st, 2020. A presentation of Keepers Registry is on the agenda.

Due to the COVID-19 global outbreak and health and social measures imposed by several national authorities, the ISSN Governing Board and the ISSN Member Countries voted to cancel all in-person meetings and the International Conference that were to take place in Paris in April 2020.

Instead of the General Assembly in-person meeting, the ISSN International Centre will organize distant meetings.

The two resolutions submitted to vote by ISO TC46/SC9 regarding ISO standard 3297 were officially approved by 20 national standard bodies on March 17th, 2020. A final draft of ISSN standard will be balloted by ISO in the coming weeks.
