I would only add that I am by nature and by nurture an IT guy. That's why I
like all the shiny flashy spinny techie things like blogs, wikis, RSS,
nano-bio-opto-molecular timeshifting portals, and the like. But I like to
think I can "do RM" most days, and I know at least a couple other fellow
bitheads who are also CRMs and who hang out on the list - c'mon, don't be
shy, you can come out of the datacenter....
To demonstrate the difficulty of separating the two, here's an exercise for
the list:
Who should have day-to-day responsibility for the declaration and management
of email messages as records? IT or RM?
Discuss.

Subject: Re: [RM] WAS: CIO adds RM NOW: Convergence of RM and IT
Ok, now Larry, I can't let you "out" my apparent schizophrenia without
rebuttal, now can I? :)
I disagree that my first statement isn't supported by my second. I do
support IT folks learning about, and gaining competency in, RM, however
not as a path to do RM - rather to be better prepared to communicate
with RMs (and I think the same goes for RMs gaining knowledge in IT and
look forward to ARMA's Competency workproduct).
My point is that I hope the Feds approach this from the standpoint of
fostering collaboration, rather than trying to turn IT people into RMs.
The reason being is the IT folks tend to approach problem solving from a
different perspective than RMs, even when armed with RM concepts and
understanding. I think this is similar to your statement that IT and RM
should have the same reporting path yet remain separate.
I'll add that I haven't yet looked at pages 6 or 7 as you suggested so
I'm not sure if I might be missing your point a bit.
Okay, that's it for me today. Thanks for letting me eat up some of your
bandwidth!
