The history of the implementation of the IAU Strategic Plan, the establishment of the OAD and its activities can be traced through regular progress reports in IAU Information Bulletins. Since the ratification of the IAU Strategic Plan by the General Assembly of the IAU in August 2009, every IAU Information Bulletin has carried a report, initially on the progress towards the establishment of the OAD, and then on the activities of the OAD itself. Links to the relevant Information Bulletin and respective page references to these reports are given below:
