| '''Notes on discussions about Mission Statement from Organizing Committee'''
| | The mission of the National Digital Stewardship Alliance is to establish, maintain, and advance the capacity to preserve our nation's digital resources for the benefit of present and future generations. |
| | |
| Mission Statement Discussion about this draft statement (see Appendix B) indicated that "citizen" was too restrictive for the group. While the NDSA is a national alliance, the benefit of digital material and preservation practices cannot be restricted by boundaries of a nation. The discussion resulted in a second draft of the statement:

| There was some interest in exploring whether publicize or sustain might be a better word choice than promote but there was no clear consensus from the group regarding a preference.

| It was pointed out that "promote" can mean either "expand" or "publicize" and it was not clear which was meant. Suggest substitute "expand and publicize" unless objections. --[[NDSA:User:Micah altman|Micah altman]] 19:39, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

| Received another suggestion to replace "promote" with "advance."
| |
| | |
| Is there a preference between "advance" v. "expand and publicize?"

| [[NDSA:Comment]]:
| |
| <br>Hasn't the capacity to preserve our nation's digital resources already been established by the likes of Hathi, Chronopolis, etc.? Aren't we sort of "repurposing" or "co-locating" or something like that? My terminology isn't right, but I think that to say "establish" negates the hard work that has come before us or that happens around us. --Amy Rudersdorf
