DAC metadata
The Data Access Committee (DAC) decides whether access will be granted to a requested dataset or not. The DAC consist of one or more named individuals who act on behalf of the data controller. A DAC may be affiliated with one or multiple datasets. Contact the DAC members and ask them to confirm their appointment before you start your submission to avoid unnecessary delays later on.
You can read more about DACs on the EGA website.
