Aloha All,

Back from a well-needed vacation and decided to chime on this issue...

I agree with Glen that the "record" versus "official record" is a needed distinction and extremely relevant...I agree that everything in a "legal sense" despite what format or media it is created or transmitted.  However, the issue is whether the "record" is an "official" representation of the "intent" of the company or originator of the message and whether it correctly represents what was created in the "normal course" of business.  It is extremely relevant to make the distinction between an "official" representation of fact or one's views versus something that may have been altered or created informally.

Yes, I believe that Glen is correct that this issue needs to be discussed at length...

Mahalo,

Brian

In reading the post, I followed the link and looked around the site.  While reading the 8 Rules for Next Generation Records Management, the very first rule.
Rule 1 -"Debating whether an item of information is a ‘record’ or ‘non-record’ is no longer relevant. E-discovery makes all recorded information – regardless of format – a ‘record’"
IMO, I have to disagree with for the following reasons:
1-If it isn't requested in a lawsuit it is not a record(unless it fits the definition of a record).
2-e-discovery does not make all recorded information a record, it may have the potential but it doesn't do it.  E-discovery and the eventual churning through of data doesn't make everything responsive.
3-And I believe it is relevant to discuss.
I would like to know the rationale behind that rule.

Respectfully,

Glen
