Just FYI with regards to The question about the Presidential Directive and records manager as an occupational series:

"Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Presidential "Managing Government Records
Directive" includes (Item B3) work to "Establish a formal records management
occupational series", something many of us pressed a certain professional
association to work on for over a decade and were told it couldn't be
done... if this succeeds, maybe we'll see people once again willing to
embrace the title "records manager"."

As President-elect of ARMA I participated in the formal proposal process to get "Records Manager" listed as an occupational series. We pulled out all the stops and even used ARMA's DC government advocates who did a great job. The government's response was that since we could point to only 10,000 and not 100,000, they would not create a new occupational series. The window of opportunity will arise again in a few years. Maybe the President will be able to do what ARMA could not. 

Best wishes,
Carol E.B. Choksy
