The Working Group on Data and Information Management met in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 23–25 May 2012. 17 participants from nine countries, and various members from ICES Data Centre joined the meeting.In 2009, WGDIM developed its mission statement: "To provide ICES with advice on all aspects of data management including data policy, data strategy, data quality, technical issues and user-oriented guidance." The mission statement is still what the group stands for. An operational plan was developed, describing the tasks of the group and the way the group recommends to be organised.
