description This summary highlights the success stories and open issues for the widely employed Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC). Many experiments were represented, each having its own specific requirements for the operation of the detector. The general focus is on the understanding of operational characteristics, namely studies of electrode material, gas systems, aging and long term performance. Simulations of electric field and transport parameters are reported, along with performance at high rates, focused on timing and time-of-flight systems. There are important issues related to operation of large RPC systems and their commissioning, QA and QC procedures. Finally, RPCs are now being used in diverse applications such as Calorimetry with analogue readout and in Astrophysics
