HR5811 or not, the Federal Govt may start taking the preservation of email
more seriously soon...

Today, CREW filed a complaint against the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) and Acting Archivist Adrienne Thomas, based on their
failure to fulfill their mandatory duties under the Federal Records Act
(FRA) to conduct inspections of agency records and records management
programs and practices of federal agencies. In a series of reports issued
during the past seven years, the U.S. Government Accountability Office has
identified this failure as a critical reason why agencies are not
consistently preserving their email records, as the FRA requires. NARA and
the archivist have ignored these findings and ignored the unambiguous
mandate in the FRA directing them to conduct inspections or surveys. CREW
seeks a declaratory judgment that NARA and the archivist are in violation of
the FRA and a writ of mandamus compelling them to comply with their
non-discretionary duties under the FRA.
