	***Q10-12 were difficult to answer because the selections from 10 carried through to 11-12. Something may not have been "in scope" [in practice] but it might be an important part of digital preservation. For example, just because it is not in scope (Q10) does not mean that we would not be interested in a vendor assisting (Q12) with certain services.		***Q10-12 were difficult to answer because the selections from 10 carried through to 11-12.

	***We had trouble with this whole zone, too. We do most of these activities, but they aren't done in a unit called "digital preservation."

The line between activities we do and think of as digpres and those we do but don't define as part of digpres is not clear. That made all these questions hard. Q15 about the FTE with different titles doing digpres was nearly impossible - partly because we have people doing those functions who don't thin k of themselves as doing digpres, and partly because we weren't sure how to map our real titles onto the categories given.
