I agree entirely with Steve Whitaker. I place a great deal of value on the
work that Peter Kurilecz has done on behalf of all of us. For anyone to
believe that his good deeds are deserving of criticism because he might not
be willing to do more is foolish. As for the author of the criticism, well,
we KNOW what he's all about and I'm sure we will all consider the "source".
I'll refrain from further comment, since it might be considered to be a
"flame"......
Peter, thanks for all that you do. I know that if I want MORE information,
that I'm perfectly capable of doing additional resarch on my own.

You do keyword searches on the internet. It is not that complex...;
elementary school children do it all the time.
Leave Peter alone...; his RIM principles and adherence to ICRM ethics are
fine.
Your criticisms of the RIM profession are puzzling. What do you hope to
accomplish?
If you want to attack something or somebody...; go find a library...;
perhaps somewhere up in the new england area.

Peter Kurilecz CRM CA should be called to account for the uncooperative
response with respect to archives and records in the news compiled from
sources like newspapers.
Peter Kurilecz claimed the information is available already.
But then Peter Kurilecz would not provide the information up front directly.
So much for the professional principles of records managers in practice.
That is the case with many records management professionals.
In practice many records management professionals do not meet the standards
set by the profession. Many are unwilling to look at shortcomings. The
attempts at squelching exchanges about the shortcomings are even made by
leadership of records management professional groups instead of promoting
and instigating the examination of the important profession that it is
truly.
The original enquiry stands as how is records and archives in the news
compiled?...
What keywords, terms, descriptors are used in what searching mechanisms?...
But the partial response so far is indirect and defiant. And that is what
many clients, customers experience at the hands of many people who claim to
be records management professionals in actual practice.
The only adversarial reason for claiming the proprietary argument is the
disaffection for the source of the enquiry. Professionals should put aside
the superficial and maintain their standards. Ironically, Peter Kurilecz
represents the communications office of a professional certification group
the Institute of Certified Records Managers as public relations coordinator,

How accountable do you hold yourself when your clients, customers critique
how you make available the records, the information you manage?... Are you
closed to feedback or open?... Do you put into practice what you enunciate
as your mission, professional principles?
A note. I am in critiquing, a fan, an aficionado of the work and of the
writings of Peter Kurilecz !
