10 minEmail Records Statement

Matt/ALL

Matt has incorporated comments from the Born Digital CKG into the Statement. Review and discuss. Next Steps?

  • Incorporated feedback of adding the ask for policy in the introduction and recommendation of stakeholders in the conclusion
  • Marlayna: it may be helpful to mention stakeholders earlier in the document
  • Teresa: had we previously identified campus IT as a stakeholder?
    • Matt: they were added after the feedback from RMC
    • Teresa: should they be involved in the policy drafting stage?
    • Kevin: policy should be technology agnostic - involving campus IT may deter direction
  • Marlayna: what about administrative involvement? ultimate goal is how do we get this policy established and endorsed?
  • Teresa: Has this gone up to the Digital Preservation Leadership Group? Should that be the next step?
  • Action: Elvia will present this Email Records Statement document to the Digital Preservation Leadership Group and ask if they are interested in drafting a letter of feedback and support
