Hi Rick, 

I think the usual response applies - records = content, not whether they are
Word, email, or Tweets. As I noted yesterday there's a lot of interest in
this area particularly in the Gov 2.0 set (see my note yesterday for a
couple of links that pertain here) because of FOIA/Open Records laws.

That said, lemme throw this out there: Do you record, transcribe, or
otherwise keep extraordinarily detailed notes of every meeting you have? If
not, how would the activity in a collaborative tool (I assume here like
whiteboarding, chat, etc. Think eRoom or Webex) be any different? Now, if
you do, that's different. But if you don't - if you instead keep the
deliverable that the collaboration related to as the record, and get rid of
drafts, notes, etc. once the record is complete and published, why would you
keep the electronic collaboration detritus? 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of myself and no other company,
organization, association, entity, or board of directors,

Jesse "treat like stuff like" Wilkins
