This community dialogue, held June 25, 2025, began with a brief panel discussion and was followed by an open forum for sharing best practices related to the creation, storage, and upkeep of PAFs. Participants also exchanged insights on institutional procedures for handling public requests to view Public Access Files and for managing both internal and external audits.
