Help the National Archives develop a 21st-century framework for managing government records
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) invites the public, public interest, and vendor/IT communities to an open forum on government records management to solicit public comments in response to Presidential Memorandum on Managing Government Records of November 28, 2011.
Who:
* Paul Wester, the Chief Records Officer for the U.S. Government.
* Gary M. Stern, NARA General Counsel
Background:
The Presidential Memorandum on Managing Government Records directs the Archivist of the United States, in coordination with the Director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to consult with those inside and outside of the government interested in improving records management and open government. Comments and suggestions received by NARA and OMB will help inform the Records Management Directive to be issued later in 2012. The Memorandum is online at www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/11/28/presidential-memorandum-managing-government-records (see also 76 FR 75423, 12/1/11).
