What is our purpose/mission?

Understanding content, the issues related to content that we need to be thinking about. Hoping that case studies would outline types/groups of content in order to create strategies and plans of action for preserving content.

Registry of what is being preserved was an early idea, but became complicated.

One challenge is the number of types of content and how this group can divide into subgroups to do the work.

Need to understand what members of the group want from the group.

What are we currently doing?

  • Content Teams

Blog Posts • Going very well Web Archiving survey (follow-up to 2011 survey)

III. What should we focus on moving forward?

Productive dialogs in meetings?
