Subject: [RM] IMPORTANT SURVEY: 100 Year Electronic Archive TF
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=733152599196>This message is being
passed along from a SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) Task
Force that I participate in. I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that those in
environments required to store information assets for periods of 25
years or longer in the scope of their responsibilities consider
participating in this survey.
Failure to participate in this survey may mean that in the long run, you
will be subject to accepting the input of others becoming the "desired
alternative" the industry designs their hardware and software to
address. I can tell you from experience, VERY FEW RECORDS MANAGERS are
providing any input to SNIA, and if they choose not to, their needs and
requirements will not be heard.
Apologies in advance for the duplicates some of you may receive on this,
as I have sent it to multiple Listservs and a number of individuals by
BCC that I felt may be materially impacted by this effort.
Larry

EMAIL Message, Forwarded on behalf of SNIA ==============
SUBJECT: Request for your participation in the SNIA's "Long-Term Digital
Information Retention Requirements" Survey Now is your opportunity to
gain insight and influence a key industry project called the "100 Year
Archive Task Force" sponsored by the Storage Networking Industry
Association (SNIA).
The SNIA's 100 Year Archive Task Force is a global, multi-agency group
working to define the business & IT requirements for long term digital
information retention. The definition of long term varies significantly
by company but, from a technology standpoint, current practices are
severely challenged when it comes to retaining information for over
10-20 years. And, we have little ability to insure that we will be able
to read and use information in 50-100 years.
Physical and logical readability barriers must be overcome. It is not as
simple as XML or PDF-A. This complex problem needs a foundation and that
is the purpose of this study. What are the business requirements today
for long-term information retention? How will they change over time?
What is needed from storage technology and practices to accommodate
those requirements? Current standards fall short in these areas.
Defining long-term storage retention and readability practices can not
be done without a better understanding of your requirements.
If you are in IT, RIM, Information Security, or a business role with
concern over long term information retention and digital archives ,
please help by taking the anonymous online survey.

also request that you circulate this request to your business, RIM, and
IT peers. We need insight from people in all these roles. You will
receive the compiled results of this study as our way of thanking you
for your participation. You can register to receive the results and read

Thank you for helping us develop best practices that will better address
the challenges of long term information retention.
